      Very cool... lots of roots and rocks for sure, all trails are marked with tape.. arms will be burning tomorrow

      Twisty, rooty, loamy, technical and slow single track. This is not a green trail, mostly BLACK. Many other trails arounds, somewhat hard to naviguate. I would recommend breaking the trails down into smaller sections and quoting them appropriately . Also by adding the ATV trails in purple. Otherwise all cool and fun!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
