        Nice long flowy loop. 5 miles with some variety and features. Access at the end of abracadabra across the gravel road. Trail include multiple wood bridges, 2 log-over ramps (both optional), and at least one creek crossing (with ride around bridge option). This is my favorite trail at John Bryan. Lots of variety keeps things interesting. This would be a great trail to session as your progress to intermediate trails.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
