Due to a housing development going up, a section of the C4 loop has been re-routed. This 1.8 mile section shortens the overall route, but is much more challenging than before (in a good way). Very rocky, with a few very steep short climbs, but rides fast and fun overall

 Tons of volcanic rock. Might be ok downhill, but uphill was difficult. Trail was hard to follow in a couple spots.

 Only a handful of markers/signs but pretty easy to follow. Lots of loose baseball-sized rocks.
