Description

This road is in good condition and is entirely rideable. Additionally, the climb is under dense tree cover, and the only sun exposure exists at the helipad.

From Corral Trail, continue uphill to the helipad and the Ridge Trail connection to continue with another lap in Demo Forest. However, if you hang a right and down the hill this could be you bailout back to the car via Hihns Mill Rd., or you can pedal up the Hihns Mill Rd. instead.

The price you pay to get to Flow. A fair deal.

Tough climb but saves a lot of time compare to the big ridge loop so more time can be spent enjoying the downs. 1.6mi
