This is a fun, flowy, twisty downhill and a pretty easy uphill. If you choose to climb it be aware of the downhill traffic. Some people feel it is downhill only and are going fast.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Great downhill for adaptive bikes. Wide enough for any adaptive bike to rail some small berms. Very fun. Moments of off camber.
