MOUNTAIN BIKING ONLY
Short downhill, with 2 steepish drops and one steep drop.

Named in honor of Len "the Legend" Francies, who sadly passed away on 1/1/16, while riding his bike. Len was an early board member of BBTC, which is now Evergreen, had a huge impact in trail advocacy, established what is now the Evergreen education program, and in recent years, had developed the Evergreen sawyer program in addition to spending countless hours doing trail work. Len did much of the saw work on the recently built trails on Tiger.
