      Additional note
      First drop is smooth and th bigger of the two and has a really wide landing with a little bit of slope . The two middle kickers are a little akward so I might suggest rolling around them so you. Know wheee you want to jump and then peddling back up to hit them. There were tons of fresh leaves and it wasn’t obvious upon first approach where you were supposed to land. Last drop is more mellow but has a little kick to it.

      At the bottom you are right at olive branches exit. The DH only signed are confusing but you should peddle up to them to find a fire road to your right that will take you to olive branch’s entrance.
