McCready is certainly on of The Railyards most demanding trails. It features punchy climbs and short descents in both directions. A large roll in the middle is ride-able both directions but can be walked based on riders judgement, Expect roots, challenging punchy climbs, and some tricky corners. This trail has great scenery and is perfect at golden hour
