The new Zen access built to accomodate the new housing development at the base of the hill. This is quite techy and difficult, with a lot of off-camber sections and some steep punchy climbs.

      I thought the trail builders did a great job of making a very fun new technical trail that is in the same caliber as Zen. It takes you over Near where the old trail starts. Seeing all the new development is hard to swallow, and I really hope we never lose this trail network one of my favorite in the country! Make sure to support all the folks that are fighting for this area and give them a big thanks!

      Very cool addition to Zen and very Zen-like in the challenging and punchy tech parts. I’m sure if they include this as part of True Grit I won’t like it quite as much since my legs will be pretty tired by the time we get here. Great work to modify Zen around the housing

      We rode Zen-Out to the Zen trail and finished that by Riding the FTNC back to Zen-Out. Wow!
      This 7+ miles of trail ride provides some of the most consistently black trail riding anywhere. What makes the FTNC trail special is that provides a kick in the shorts harder finish to an already hard ride.
      Wow!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
