Steep and fast, with lots of line choices. Much of the trail is intermediate, but the Spastic Colon section and the end is very difficult. Avoid this trail in the wet

This trail is unsanctioned.

 Thanks to whoever cleared all the trees. Great climb with a nice grade, good views, and all the historical stuff make for a great ride.

 Super fun trail and I will definitely ride again. Getting up there is nice on H Road. Loved the fallline section. Lots of trees down (~15). Snow...

 That small tree across the trail is still there but this is such a cool idea for a trail. You can make it as spicy as you like and it all ends up...

 One small larch down in upper section, running good otherwise, needs some tires to do the talking

      Some wicked fall line loamer sections, must be new lines since most of the comments, trail is a blast if you find the spicy choices

      Cleared blowdown and raked most of the way from the top. Still has snow at banked bridge.

      The 'choices' could do with some signage, I missed at least one section, otherwise you're just blasting down green double track and the 1hr+ peddle becomes pointless. One upper fall line section is amazing and the Finisher section is borderline double black, other than that, the double track sections suck. So much potential here for amazing loamy, rooty fall line trails, but this one is not quite there yet in my opinion.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
