Description

South Loop might be a little rough around the edges, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great trail. If you want something that feels like 'old school' singletrack, then make sure this trail is part of your ride.

Starting an ending with tight sections in the dense pines, this route has lots of short punchy climbs complimented by challenging rocks and roots. It's the kind of trail that keeps you on your toes and dancing on your pedals the entire way through.
