Trail Ridden: Ridden Once
Recommended Route:
I preferred counter-clockwise (it's faster). Clockwise gives you a couple of very short, out-of-saddle pushes when you are in the big ring and timing yourself.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Edwards Point, Prentice Cooper.

Review:

Well unfortunately I rode two laps counterclockwise and then timed myself clockwise. Going "balls to the wall" I made it around, big ring all the way, in just under 18 minutes. I had to deal with a lot of oncoming traffic, and passed one rider and a couple hiking. I'd like to come out in the winter on a weekday when there is sure to be NO ONE around, and now that I know the trail better, I know I could do it much faster. I've thought that NORBA should do some shorter course races, and this would be the shit! It's kinda like Tsali Jr.! I rate it four wheelies cuz of the weekend traffic.
