      This trail is awesome, lots of cool rollers and slabs. Prob more fun ridden east to west, but doable in both directions.

      One of my favorite trails at Lynn. I'm on a single speed (32x22) and most of this is manageable if you pick your lines carefully.

      I love that this qualifies as a blue in the world of Lynn Woods. So much more difficult than most blue trails out there. But really fun

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
