Description

Mostly flat, nothing technical. There were 2-3 small-ish hills. I'm a newbie so I had to walk the bike up parts of it. The first hill going in (therefore the last hill going out) are the toughest ones throughout the route. Otherwise, a fun ride.

This would be an amazing spot in the spring when the wildflowers return.

Best part of the trail was this gentle forested singletrack that went on for quite a ways.

Also rode half Cottle Trail. The uphill is definitely a hard one. 500 feet of elevation gain in 1 mile. 15.6mi — 2h 03m
