ROUTE:
(Ferdinand the Bull and Executive Decision): Remember this is an Intermediate ride as we will be riding blue technical trails. Below is the list of trails we will be riding:
Up: Upward Mobility (green climbing trail): smooth climbing trail with some roots and rocks
Flattish: Raging Tiger (green trail): smooth trail with some roots and rocks
Up: Pacific Climbing Trail (PCT): a challenging climbing trail – it’s a little bit tougher than Uptown at Tokul East
Down: Ferdinand the Bull: solid blue techy hand-built – easier than CCDH or Atlas
Short & Flatish: Raging Tiger (green trail): smooth trail with some roots and rocks
Up: Pacific Climbing Trail (PCT)
Down: Executive Decision/ Kraus'd: Upper is a blue jump/flow trail – very easy and fun to just roll your way down it, but making the jump transitions requires advanced jump skills, lower is a bit techier than Ferdinand the Bull.
Flattish: Raging Tiger (green trail): smooth trail with some roots and rocks
Down: Lower Poppin Tops: blue flowy descending trail with some areas chewed up a bit
Down: Flow State: green descending trail with some areas chewed up a bit
