Fun route that hits most of the worthwhile trails at Shell Ridge, including the three black trails. Note that the two trails sulfur creek singletrack, as well as fallen tree, can both be pretty overgrown depending on when you ride here, so make plans to go around those two or you may have to go real easy or even hike your bike.
