Squids been running so good as of late. But today there’s a young buck with a mattock buffing out all the fun parts. Go shred it and lets bring out those roots and rocks again!

A MUST RIDE!
Up there with some of the best raw trails I have ridden. On par with The Blue Tier and Atlas (Derby) albeit a touch more difficult. Was a bit moist the day after some good rain so 2 days after would be PRIME.

What's not to like! Cruise it or pin it, it's a trail for all seasons too being mostly under forest. Great flow, enough going on to keep you focused but not very committing either so it's more fun than thrill.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
