Draft of the CH4P challenge, Included a final loop around the lower Sunrise loop for a 13.1 mi. route

Hike a bike city either direction. Lame trail for riding.
Ampfrog
Rode this trail downhill from Buckhorn. Once on this section/north of the loop, it becomes switchback city, very slow tech but ridable. Either super slow tight turns or hops/pivots work. The final 2/3rds of this segment after the switchbacks is an easier cruise down to Chalfen Blvd.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
