Fun and interesting trail that is well suited for multiple laps. There are technical bits that will challenge intermediate/novice riders, but everything can be ridden by those with mid-level skills. That may change after lap 4.......

There is a wide variety of features that make it well suited for an XC/AM ride.

      		 Last 25% or so is overgrown. Doesn’t look like this trail sees much traffic. First 75% of the trail are decently fun XC but I wouldn’t do it...

      		 Someone's cleared it out. Thanks! Good to go.

      		 Fun trail! 90% great, some parts overgrown with thorny bushes. Choose the alternative lanes without growth!

      		 Very overgrown once you exit the forest — the section running parallel to the golf course. Wouldn't recommend riding.
