REVIEW
Well here is a trail that needs some work. I have to guess that when it's dry that it's a great trail, but during the rainy season it becomes a stream in places. I had only heard great things about this trail and was waiting for an opportunity to ride it. So one came along and here is the lowdown.
At the start of the trail is a teeter totter and rideable by most. Just remember concentrate on what you are doing and not where you are. A little trick Hoots Jay taught me, it actually works. So over the teeter totter and then a right at the sign. Now there are really no stunts on the trail but there are a couple of launches to mention at the side of the trail. The first one is solid and the next one is not. I only mentioned 2 for a reason because the third looks like a kindergarten class came onto the trail and thought twigs would be strong enough to support 150 pounds and more. Enough of that. The trail this day was muddy to say the least but hey it's The Wet Coast. The singletrack is some of the best around until you get about the last third of the trail. This area needs considerable work. Part of the trail was a stream and parts just went through a marshy area. A reroute is in order. There is absolutely nothing taxing skill wise but it's not the Endowment Lands. Oh yeah did I mention the trail can be ridden in both directions.
