        Short but definitely a legitimate mountain bike trail.
        Jimvance5
        Fun little exercise ride. Super surprised and happy to find this. Some fun flowy sections. Especially the Outer Limit trail. Mostly flat but super fast in either direction. Counter clockwise there are some great spots for good air too

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
