 Some leaf cover on the trail is making things a little slick, but very dry otherwise.

      Bring narrow bars-lot of tight tree squeezes that my 760s barely passed through. The trail is rocky, rooty, and pretty uneventful but the one downhill bit with the berm is really nice.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
