it’s a blue and is starting to show a little bit of erosion with the recent intense rains but it’s going to take awhile to get some black worthy features back 🤷🏼♂️trailforks should change the rating of this section

It’s not a Green trail given the steepness of the grade, but likely fits the Blue criteria.
Presently it’s a very bike park like flow trail.
Probably will erode back to its former glory eventually.

unfortunately this is now a green as it was paved over in advance of a gravel race - sanitizing trail features sucks and doing it for commercial ventures without oversight of those who own homes i the area and pay poa dues is disgusting 🟢
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
