I still love this trail. If riding a ccw loop, it feels like you are going downhill most of the way except a little bit of climbing at the end. Fun routing. A gem.
Turtle-Speed
One of my favorites in this network! Great loop for perfecting bike control twists,roots,handle bar grabbing trees fun DH sections. I prefer riding in counter clockwise. I come in from Delias delight going north at the “rising sun” trail intersection go down the road the entry is at the bottom of the hill on your right.

Love this trail. Tight and twisty in many places, but interesting the whole way.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
