Land Owner
Small but punchy climbs, quick descents and tighter corners. JVC is a local favourite and among the best trails at Hersey. JVC features 2 bridges, including a 20ft long downhill bridge that enters a bermed corner. Best if ridden from Hersey hill to North Ridge as it primarily used as a downhill trail. If you're looking for a cardio workout, it can be ridden in the opposite direction, but keep an eye out for riders speeding down the descents.
Disclaimer
Please be advised that the singletrack trails are not monitored or maintained by the MRCA.
