Nice change from race classic, drops you in higher on the lost Lake road its open with a great view. Pretty straight forward ride but.... and there is a but, its poorly maintained, brush is rarely cleared and often trees are down. Closer to the bottom of the trail its usually flooded for the whole spring leaving deep tire ruts that can be tricky to negotiate once the mud hardens and the grasses grow in.
