“Best ridden downhill from Easy Money to Paymaster Trail, this bike-optimized trail has a great b-line rock garden. ”

Description

Built with bikes in mind, this trail is multi-use and bidirectional but is most fun ridden downhill with a couple of challenging alternate lines that make the intermediate experience just a little more interesting.

All singletrack, it has a good flow and makes a great intermediate loop with the Paymaster and Easy Money trails. The highlight of this trail is a b-line ride up on rocks that leads to a triple-drop section before blending back into the mainline.

Not bad but nothing special. Too tight for its own good. Still a good run to shake out the cobwebs before Hard Money.

Nice quick half lap with one medium size drop (rollable too). Gotta hit the jump over the tiny tree at the bottom next time
