Great trail especially when combined with the others in the system. MST offers REAL Mountain biking much closer to home then Pisgah.

This trail broke me. It should NOT be both a both way trail. Much traffic from people coming from behind and in front of us. When I had rode this, I had about 2.5 years experience, and thought it was still difficult. No flow, all tech, (I get it, It's a tech trail) But IMO, not enjoyable tech, like proper gnarly rock gardens or sketchy root placements. No, I mean Uphill 3 foot uprooted roots that you half to walk up and down scattered throughout the trail. Add this to the fact that the whole thing is uphill with short bursts of downhill you can't enjoy because of the roots, and you have a trail in need of some reworking.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
