Latest iteration of the venerable Coaster. Many people seem to think it ends at the water tanks. Actually, it continues behind them. New sections have been added this year and last, making it now almost entirely singletrack. Great intermediate run or warm up for bigger ones. Entirely trail bike and half lid friendly.
