Depending on trail conditions, Cedro Singletrack can be one of the funnest trails in the area. However, it can get really dry and dusty, and at these times care must really be taken around corners and even on the rocky technical sections as the dust will loosen the grip significantly.
That said, this is a killer trail with good variation. Coming from the Meadow Ridge FR, you enter into a rocky problem (watch your crank arms and derailleur), and soon after head down a technical rocky wash that can be scary the first time through or depending on your skill level. The rest is at once fast, flowy DH and shortish, steepish punchy climbs. About 3/4 of the way through, be ready for a really loose, rocky uphill with lots of baby heads to throw you off, and a nice technical move at the end to really make it difficult. This section, considering all factors combined, probably push it into black territory, at least if you're climbing it.
The trail ends up at FR 252. Enjoy

      Motorcycles are allowed on this trail and it is a great ride.
      Fun Flowing trail. Some narrow spots between trees.
      Easier from west to east (starting from campground) as there are are a couple of small ledges that are a bit tricky riding up west to east but easy to drop down the other way.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
