REVIEW
Not overly steep singletrack but lots of roots and rooty drops, with the odd rock face. There are a few nasty sections that I wouldn't do when wet, have become overly sensitive to bailing in my old age. One section near the end has rocks and big roots but not overly steep but made me think twice about riding it. It will take skill and nerves to clear it in one go. No man-made structures on this one, just old school singletrack.

REVIEW
The Bean is a fun trail with some challenging sections. The singletrack winds and twists its way down the side of Burke Mt. It has some really nice steep sections and it's fair share of logs and drops to traverse. One challenging section is a couple of boulders basically back to back making for a fun whoop de doop. So just hang on and have a lot of fun.
