Short but very technical and steep downhill to shortcut your way down to the bottom without resorting to the paved path.
Dropper down. Resist the urge to stay left of the little drop on the right. Tree to the left will sweep you. Take root-y drop on right, dropper up, pedal through the invisible rocks hidden by the grass back to gravel path.

Access Info

Start at the bench at the top of sunset ridge and immediately follow single track to the right along the slope, then a sudden drop down into some shrubs and trees.
