      There is a tree across the trail heading northerly, it’s right at eye level. Have to get off your bike to go under it. A little further along there is a creek dip that was marked a couple weeks ago, but that has disappeared. Probably easy to clear but could surprise someone if they’re not paying attention.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
