2 Way Trail. Closed after rain.

Description

This trail is a traditional singletrack trail and super fun! It's got lots of roots and short steep climbs along the way. There are also a few new sections that feature new school flow and roll. You'll love this one!

Great ride. Trail was wet and slick, drier conditions would have made for a more enjoyable ride. Definitely not for beginners. 4.6mi
