Trail is downhill for almost every one - a really hard climb for all but the billy goats.

Trail starts with a wide and beautiful ledge area, then a moderate roller into a steep and rooty enduro-style downhill line. At some point, braking is fruitless.

 reporter Trail is ideal until you hit the lower steep portion in the woods - the mix of water, pitch, and the leaves make that section tough to ride fast....
