The Pip

Looking for some really sweet single track with giant berms, smooth jumps, no climbing and a pristine riding surface? Well, keep looking, this ain’t it. This is an old school hand cut trail. It’s meant to be demanding and requires focus. Riding surface is unpredictable and not groomed to make things easy. If it were meant to be easy it would have been built easy. Folks that don’t normally ride this type trail will view it as being neglected, it’s not. Of the thousands of trails in the south east, it offers a raw gnarly line that can rarely be found elsewhere. For the unsuspecting rider it can be a brutal and dangerous experience. For those that seek out this type trail, it won’t disappoint
The climb up from the start is relatively short but punchy in places. Once things point down it gets steep, rocky and narrow with lots of off camber riding. At the end of what's considered the down hill portion you will come to an old road bed turning left up the hill. Again, this is a relatively short but somewhat punchy climb back up to the start of Talladega.
A note to riders that make the newer “easy” lines around the “intended” lines.
Stop.
