 Tons of tall grass and windy conditions make things “fun” at speed

      Fun, non-technical and easy trail. Good for a sprint workout. Great for the family. I take my son on this trail all the time and we have a blast!

      Fun trail, very smooth considering it's not machine built. Some mild climbs, great for a family outing. No technical features, some tight turns that could benefit from some berms being built.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
