Nae Spleens, goofy name for a goofy trail. Well goofy in a WTF kinda way. For such a short trail it packs in quite a punch. A simple enough start sees you flowing through the trees then you hit the first of the drops. From this point onwards it feels like every root and rock is on a mission to dismount you. The second drop isn't long after the first but there is a chicken run to the left that you can use to avoid it. The drop itself has a rocky run in and lands you right into a 90ish degree left turn. There seems to be quite a lot going on in a short space of time here. After this the trail dives down though a series of turns and chutes before a final chute to the road.

This trail is unsanctioned.
