      Agree with you Larry, ratings are difficult to be consistent. However, a green trail is something you can take a complete noob on.

      It's a tricky thing with the difficulty ratings, but giving this trail the same rating as nearby 5 Oaks, which feels significantly more difficult, just doesn't seem right.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
