Description

This loop is usually done clockwise, which involves a few hundred feet of climbing up low-grade switchbacks before getting to the well-flowing descent. There are no stopping obstacles, and intermediate riders shouldn't have to walk anything.

This is cool. Some decent flow, with tough off camber corners.
