Descent 1 (Lone Pine) Is a fast single track flow line with pumps, berms, swithcbacks and a small drop or two. After you hit a section of 3 quick berms you are down to the connector (Coronation Street) for another lap on 1 or over to Descents 2, 3 and 4(beta). Descent 1 merges on to the climb at the connector (Coronation Street) but sight lines are good for riders.

      Sixty year old dude on an ebike. What a sweet trail. Nothing crazy though a few spots a less experienced rider might want to dismount but well worth the effort for the rest of the trail. Will be riding this area again Every trail I rode was well laid out and built with obvious ongoing improvements and additions.

      The steepest and most technical (IMO) of the three descents, #1 is an old school hand-built trail with a variety of loam, rock, and tight turns that'll challenge most novice riders. At a bit over 1 km of decent though, it certainly rewards the long climb Smile
