Classic B Lot Lots of tech, few small rollers, drops, rock spines. As good as it gets in terms of old-school technical trails.

      This is a wild one. Really unique trail that takes advantage of the natural features. Unlike anything else that I've ridden.

      This is one of my favorite trails in B-Lot. Super technical with lots of rock spines and roots to maneuver over at the beginning and end of the trail. There are a couple of spots in the middle of the trail where you can briefly pick up speed, but be ready to slow down and shift into a lower gear as technical features and sharp corners are never far. There's also two fun short but steep rollers near the end---in both bases the trail will split and you want to take the left line to find the rollers.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
