Don’t go down… just booooring. Guess it’s good for climbing though

Old dirt road with lots of loose sections+ big loose rocks.

I think I left my helmet (silver + teal), riding gloves (100%, black + grey), and clear glasses near the trailhead parking lot last night. Please let me know if you’ve seen them!
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
