Hardest trail on the west side of Harold Parker. The trail name stands for Suffering B***ard, and it's pretty self explanatory as to why. The climbs are very intense and technical, especially depending on the way you ride the trail.

      		 The Suffering D trail was good but slightly slippery due to pine needles.

      		 A fun sort of suffering. Leaves / Pine needles make the uphills extra tough.
