This is one of the oldest MTB specific single-track trails within Stub Stewart Park (first built in 2008, the original). Better than riding the Caddy Whomper fire road. Its a great loop if your parked at the Hilltop Parking Area. Fast, bermed out. Grinding steep climb out back up to North Caddy Whomper.

      Shoofly is a great trail to session for time to improve your flat turns and your ability to maintain momentum up hill through technical terrain. It’s also been really helpful for me to practice using bunny hops to clear technical terrain. If you dial in this trail it’s incredibly gratifying how little you use the brakes and how fast you can get through.

      Pretty curvy trail with a consistent slope. Was on the brakes a fair amount. Rode from top to bottom, out to Banks Vernonia trail and up to Hilltop parking lot.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
