      A true black for most people. Nothing crazy and a lot of fun. I like some of the other blacks here that have mandatory double black features. Love the trails at Mahoney, but some really require a proper pre-ride.

      Running really nicely, big slab could still use some sweeping.

      Great trail some steep rock sections and some nice flow as well. Not too radical and still fun for us over 60 geezers.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
