“A surprisingly fun, short, and technical trail close to the East Bay plain that's deceptive given its profile. ”

Description

This trail has a skinny off-camber rocky segment, a segment with three wood skinnies in a row, some of which have wide enough gaps between the boards to catch wheels, and a steep pitch next to a tight turn adjacent to the wood skinnies. It is actually a challenge to clean every one of these as well as other little less tricky parts, which you would not guess from the profile.

Fun ride with some technical surprises and views that take your focus away from where it needs to be - the thin, off-camber trail...
