Genuine Draft runs from Beaver Slide around the inside edge of Strachan Valley and then across an open field before joining onto the Bike Fest Dual access trail. The woods section is a fun roller that passes through a number of interesting forest sections. Part of the is trail crosses private land and while you may thing you are all alone, the valley really amplifies sound. Please keep the hooting and hollering to a minimum.
