      Seconding the above. Great trail. It really looks like it’s meant to be ridden either way. I did it the Trailforks rec way, which was good. But most of the A/B line choices were going in the other direction.

      This trail is so cool!!! Next time I'll ride it both ways as it's much better than Rookery. I can't imagine anyone not loving this trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
