Lentil Link was a short link between the bottom of Side Winder and Hill Rd. 'Was' is the operative word. Forestry harvesting in early 2015 saw the surrounding pine forest felled and Lentil Link disappeared. Now the freshly resurfaced gravel road of Windy Rd. takes riders to the start of Side Winder trail.
