      		 Bit slick as there are many cobble stone rocks and it started to sleet. Flowy and fun though with numerous small jumps.

       This is a top notch trail. Windy, with lots of little jumps. Lots of fun.

       IMO the Best trail in Elkwater, what a treat to ride! Amazing flow, the switchbacks are hella fun, a few good jumps with lots of chances at smaller jumps or just some pumping to get your speed up. I love this trail will ride again!
