Pointy Knob

I had a ton of fun on this trail. It was pretty overgrown on Memorial Day, 2021 but only with Rhododendron which you can pretty easily push your way through. Other issues include very thick muddy sections, specifically when you are about one mile in from the eastern trailhead. These muddy bogs only last for a few hundred feet and then it opened up more.

As for the trail it rewards those who want a true backcountry feeling ride. I think the way to ride it is clockwise. The climb wasn't too bad except for the muddy sections mentioned previously. after the muddy section the trail becomes full of square edge, sharp rocks so line choice is important to maintain both air in your tires and your momentum. There isn't really a "peak" to the trail. There was a small area after the bulk of the climbing where the trail was a little wider to lay down your bike and pack and take a breather. Just a few more corners further and the descent begins. The top half-ish of the descent is littered with rocks but you can still keep pretty good speed. Eventually you will hear a stream next to the trail which you will be crossing a few times near the end of the trail.

Not very fun. Ended up hiking I think more than we rode. Yes it's a black diamond but overall has no flow at all. It's obvious a lot of the locals don't ride this trial and for good reason. We rode in June 2020 and it was already severely overgrown. Don't waste your time on this one
