      Lappable by WALKING your bike next to Haul road, until this becomes a 2-way segment, you will have to walk it about 80 feet back to the start of Winze. Stay safe, break silly rules, and keep shredding! 🤙

      Best medium sized tabletops and doubles, favorite jump line in Cygnus period.

      Super fun downhill section after a short up. I just wish you could lap it without having to go all the way around.
