Overview
Thankfully, the course starts out easy so you can get warmed up. Then it turns into a bowl, and then up some freshly made uphill switchbacks. <br><br>From there, up a paved road, and turning down into another bowl with a tight, steep switchback leading out. Then up to circle a sometimes-pond at the top of a hill. Down a fire road, through the "sand trap." <br><br>Next, you ride into the woods for some real fun, including a few whoop-dee-dos and a "duck!" situation. Then, up a fire road again to ride the Moose Antler Switchbacks\u2014both antlers being downhill with an open high-plain ride in between. <br><br>Now into some downhill switchbacks\u2014the last being quite treacherous (said the rider who wiped out there just yesterday). Lastly, a couple of turns and straights to get you back to the start line.

Small whoop-tee-doo (that's what I call 'em anyways). Easy stuff but fun.
