A nice little trail to do as part of The Mistress, Serrata, Daisy Duke loop. Easy to do a few laps, a handful of small jumps/pumps, and a couple of sharp up and downs to keep you on your toes.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Nice loop combining flowy descents, technical climbs, and fun cornering. Start from the Frenchs Forest...

      Great fun but easy to miss the entrance! Lots of tight little flowy turns
