      Of the whole sugar pine look, this section would be the middle one for difficulty. Some sections are steep, some rocky, but with enough power in your legs (or e-bike), you can ride most of it.

      Ride either way. Also shared with dog walkers and horses.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
