This is one of the iconic trails at 18 Road. Endless undulating singletrack that takes you along the tops of little hills. Some up flow, but mostly fast and down, gotta hit this when here.

Fine, but unremarkable. Yet another trail built to cater to the XC rider. The "tech" steep sections are very easy for advanced+ riders, which means a whole lot of pedaling for not a lot of reward. The steep sections are also still beyond the skill level of beginners/light intermediates, which is who the rest of the trail is built for. This is probably just the right trail for advanced intermediates, and no one else.
If you're looking for big features and fast speeds, honestly Joe's is more fun, along with most of lunch loops.
I'd call it a skip unless you're bored.

Definitely a let down, not at all what I expected, though that’s partially my fault. 2 or 3 cool super steep chutes (with the worst braking bumps I’ve seen outside of a bike park but I’m sure it’s tough to maintain) and then either a flat featureless ridgeline or literal hike a bike up to the next chute. I expected this to just be a step up from Joe’s in speed and steepness but it wasn’t much of that at all. Definitely worth doing once to ride those steep sections.

Fun trail with variety. Some flow, short sections of rocky, steep descents, steep accents. Although most the trail is intermediate, the two steep descents make it advanced (but can be walked with good shoes).
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
