TTFs on TrailBerm
North end is really easy and wide. The trail gets a little more like real singletrack as it descends down toward the river and through the trees.

This was one of the best beginner trails I’ve ridden, I’m teaching my old nine-year-old how to ride and she love this and you can do it over and over and over again and there’s very few people there and very little elevation game.
