A very fast run down an oak wooded valley. A few tricky sections towards the bottom. Access it by going up the "West Side Road" until you get to the "No Trespassing" signs. The trail depends down to the left. It's so pretty you'll have to decide between a stop under the trees and pinning for a Strava PR. We stopped

      		 Trail is in good shape. Kudos to those who cut back the brush and fixed a few of the rough spots earlier in the year!

      		 Trail is clear and well used. “Narrow” This trail is a DH best taken from East to west. Previous reports no long valid.

      		 So overgrown that the trail is completely obscured in some places. Others it’s overhead and hanging in your face. Ouch!

      		 3 or so downed trees on trail, and lots of brush due to spring rains.
