Description

Wow, this is an exhilarating, fun little option that is narrow off of North Creek Trail. The trail has some good flow with punchy descents and climbs and tight turns. Watch your speed or you might join the Alafia swim club.

Fast decent across a bridge spanning the swamp, then uphill on stones threading the needle between two trees.

Near the end of Spitfire, after the sharp turn right uphill and around the tree.

Cool little jaunt off of North Creek that features steep drops and climbs, compression bridges, and a small margin for error. 0.3mi

A twisted descent on a hard option of Rollercoast that cost me six weeks off the bike when I face planted instead of successfully navigating the bottom.
