This is a short connector from Cemetery road allowing one to access Joyride, another great trail. This trail rides well in both directions. It's a steep climb and an awesome downhill in the other direction.

Access Info

In a 100 foot area between two driveways you will see the trail entrance. You must cross the road's side ditch to get to the trail.
