Land OwnerOSU Research Forests
Gritty Kitty has something for everyone and offers a challenge for all skill levels. It has short sections that are moderately steep, corners galore, and some flowy sections. It was built by two NWTA board members and cat lovers who wanted something fast and fun but wouldn't scare the pants off of newer riders. While it can be ridden at high speed, it can also be taken slower so riders can have a safe starting point for getting comfortable with the steeper terrain that RP offers.
The entire trail is in the trees and has three distinct sections, so make sure you ride all three Exit by going right, back up Sad Birthday for a moment and back onto the mid road for more laps! Alternatively, you can exit by going left on Sad Birthday or right on Runaway Return to the bottom and climb out up Lower Mulligan.
