Extremely, rocky and chunky RM Classic Loop. It is actually a combination of several trails. Can be very confusing over the rocky sections in the north area. This loop is shared with trials moto riders. Normally ridden clockwise. You can cut out some of the chunk and challenges by short cutting via the iron hand segment.

      snow and mud mixture on and off. Mudd was very thick, probably not rideable for about another week or so.
