Rode July 6 and was pretty good as for trail conditions. Trail needs some TLC and a good trail day.

Rain did some damage. Worst shape this has been in for a long time. Roots and rocks make u vibrate all the way down.

      optional climbing trail if a ride around was available for a couple blind spots /steeps

      2018 before it was a sanctioned trail, it was awesome - loamy and flowy with some notable rock and log jumps. Now, in 2020 where it is a sanctioned trail, it's just full of brake ruts, rocks, and just rough and bumpy as your going down. You just hope you're not gonna get a flat or worse, get a pair of dented rims. Not worth the climb on Husky road to do this trail anymore.

      Did anyone lose a Bear Grylls knife on this trail?
