Bring your padded shorts, full suspension bike and pain tolerance because this thing is almost more roots and than dirt. I would say this trail requires "advanced" level skills to ride cleany over everything. These roots make what would otherwise be a very easy trail into quite the technical challenge Very fun, and very different from the downhill STA trails on nearby Hillside.
