Main Vain

This trail was super overgrown when I checked it out this summer. Next year I plan on cutting it back so hopefully we can ride it again.

Can confirm, the most technical and fun downhill trail I've ridden in Alaska that's not Alyeska. The entrance is quite hard to find. After descending "Can't Stop" into the pit of the quarry, you will see a well worn trail through the bushes.......and that trail goes no where...it will take you about 100 ft further into a dead end hollow. The real trail entrance is juuuust to the left of that wrong trail - within 10 feet to the left - you enter a faint trail through some bushes that becomes more obvious as you continue through. You can bike through these bushes, but its tough, wear safety glasses. The trail is pretty obvious from there. Trail features some sweet, decently steep rooty tech, nice dirt, some very steep rock rolls, gap jumps, rock drops woodwork. There is always a ride-around, but they can be hard to find, so stop before features if you are unsure. Otherwise, a comfortably fast "flowy" speed will get you over all gaps or drops.

There is a shooting range at the bottom. Get your shuttle driver to park their truck at the trail exit, or ask the shooters to stop for 5 minutes.

I highly recommend staying left and riding "Hand-Job" out to the road. "Main-Vane" ends right above a very popular shooting/target range.
