It much to add to what others said but about the middle is a good roller, and 4 foot drop to flat for those double diamond types
Biker8675
Fun trail thats not to difficult with some fun humps and drops. Definitely need to ride this a few times to know where features are. Trails are in great shape as always
Rider51
Pretty intermediate trail typical of Rockland. There are a few small drops or short rocky descents that are easily to either avoid or hike/bike past if uncomfortable. I wouldn't call this a fast descent, but you can build good skills riding this single track.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
