      Yeah...rode this today and got a bit whooped...it’s definitely a high Blue or Low Black trail.

      Yes, this is one of the more gnarly trails I've found here, surprised it's an green trail. If the cedar trails are an intermediate, then this should be rated quite a bit higher... Fun though, surprises you and keeps you on your toes.

      Not a green; very technical; very steep both ways.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
