This trail was built by Troy Lee back in the day. Starts with a high speed/mellow grade through some whoops, then gets steep and rutted after the bypass. Watch out for hikers coming up, especially as you get closer to reconnecting with the fire road. Troy Lee links up very well with Block.

      Challenging downhill, careful with high speed turns and sandy downhill rock gardens
