A fairly flat but flowy singletrack loop full of log-overs of various sizes, with a few jump features scattered throughout. There's also a short, but extremely steep (~45%) downhill section 1/4 of the way through. The steep section and many log-overs have a bypass. More fun ridden clockwise.

 Freeze/thaw in effect. Hit it before the sun does. West end turns to peanut butter quickly, but is really nice when frozen.
