      Just rode for the first time since last year. it It's much rockier than I remember. Not sure if it's eroding or if I'm just rusty, but I had to take it away slower than I remember.

      Fast and fun downhill flow. Hit it twice while your near the trail head by climbing the dirt road! No desire to ride this trail reverse!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
