Overview

Similar to Skeggs-n-Eggs, this links together some of the best singletrack trails in the area. Flowy cross-country and downhill trails linked together with a few fire road climbs.

Description

Starting at the Sierra Morena Trail access point off Skyline, follow the Sierra Morena Trail clockwise to Oljon Trail and enjoy some flowy cross country trail to get warmed up.

Next, take Blue Blossom to the climb up Crossover Trail and Methuselah Trail. Get your first big downhill section on Fir Trail (Lower) and make one more climb up Methuselah Trail.

Finish the ride with one of my favorite downhill sections on Manzanita Trail and take it back to the parking lot via Timberview Trail.

You really have to want that ride down Fir Trail to grind out the climb up Methuselah Trail twice. 13.5mi
