Very rideable, fun slowly descents with a couple of tight corners, mild climb mid way, and some fun slabs around the branch off to Silverback.
rKirbster
Close to home, just an awesome easy ascent climb thats fun and leads into fun intermediate techy single track thats welcoming to anyone into mountain biking. Even for experienced riders it is fun to rip multiple laps on and get some rides in, flows well into Silver Back as well
