This trail was constructed to provide a singletrack option from the bottom of Pseudo back to the university, to avoid having to ride down the now-congested road. Fun, fast, and flowy. There is an upper entrance just before the water tower that starts with a tricky rock roll. Built and maintained by local youth who encountered an exceptionally aggressive grouse week after week during construction.

This trail is unsanctioned.
