More misery brought to you by the sado-masochists who brought you the other FloRekas. Expect steep ups and downs, expect nasty switchbacks, expect the feeling of going around in circles. The good news is that it can be ridden in either direction, the bad news is that it is just as painful either way.
A great challenge for your biking skills.

Great classic 90s animal track single track feel. starting to get a bit over grown.

currently closed/under construction,. looks like more of a flow trail from the upper entrance off the fire road that goes to the top of Contra/trail dogs

The description fits this run perfectly. Left a good chunk of my shin on this one........
