Description

A rocky, 26-mile loop, designated as one of IMBA's Epics. Expect several long, sustained climbs and rocky descents. The trail is criss-crossed by several forest roads that can be used as bail outs, if needed. The trail drains well after rainfall, but has several creek crossings. The most popular direction is clockwise as mapped, giving in to longer descents vs ascents.

For more information, see the GORC trail page here.

Cleared out 26.9 miles of cobwebs. Nothing like trail maintenance while still riding. All jokes aside tho, trails in good shape

Those sharp rocks are no joke! Came down from Michigan where it's all dirt, sand and roots. Within 2 miles we had a catastrophic sidewall tear.
