Technical Loop is a one-way (counter-clockwise) single track trail. Most of its "technical" nature occurs early, with two steep drops (both with bypasses) and a tough, somewhat rocky climb. After that it is similar to the Sport Loop, with fast flow sections, short steep climbs and descents, a few rocky areas, and some tight bermed switchbacks. Near the end of the loop there is a crossover to the Long Loop before the Sport and Technical Loops merge and pop out into the parking lot.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB 3 Rating: Major obstacles exist. You will not be able to ride this solo. Support rider needed.
One pinch point and two semi off-camber exposed spots on the climb. One off-camber spot after the DH.
