Anywho...looks like a great trail to me..! Different from the fire roads we ride on here..

no, no real stumps or roots; the trees are shallow rooted and when they do go over they just leave a crater. This area is known for it's non technical trails that just thread through the forest.

This particular trai is an "alternate route". The line that has been there forever is ?? feet of a fall line descent that has no redeeming technical qualities - just loose rocks, big roots and an erosion gully. During the yearly XC races, they've backboarded at least two people off with shattered pelvises. It's too steep to ride up, too, hike a bike if you are going the other way. That line is still there for anyone that really wants to ride it, but now there is a new option. This alternate route is about 1000' long (300M) The guys were going to measure it yesterday to see exactly how long it is!

here are some other images from that area





and this is what we want the upper portion to look like when we are done with it; this was built by the CCC years ago
