Flowing single trail with a few surprises. The track has been modified to allow travel in both directions. Generally riders preferred a clockwise direction. In The Dog has a number of technical features including small rocky sections. One of which is verging on Black Diamond difficulty. There are also a number of valley crossings three are rocky & the forth is a skinny bridge. The rest of the trail is easy to ride with long sweeping corners & gradual undulations.

This trail is unsanctioned.
