Good narrow, twisty single track. Good conditions.

This area is being cleaned up. Tons of trails worth exploring. Just needs more riders.
JDiMarzio
Fun ride but it needs work. It’s been neglected and doesn’t appear that many ride this loop which is a shame.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
