      Fun little ride with a few logs and gullies to traverse. Lots of quick up and downs. If you're already in the neighborhood doing Boomerang or Fruitloop, it's worth tacking this on.

      Currently in the best shape it’s been in years, riding it west to east is a little more fun in my opinion

      single track with some overgrowth - knobby roots -
      steep decline at end

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
