It's definitely a fun trail to ride/race.  It was so different from rocky hill or cold springs or whatever else I was exposed to beforehand that just being out there was a blast.  It didnt hurt that I brought home much bling that weekend Smiley

There was only one climb I couldn't do (the rocks were wet and I'd just spin), but it was pretty cool.  Did you guys get to do the x-games like thing where you ride vertical on the walls of a creekbed.  weeeeee

There was one section of a wash you ride down and it goes side to side, I think that part is what you are talking about.  That part was awesome until the 180 you have to turn and ride straight up hill.

that part is called little colorado.    The have cut a bunch of new trails...some sections you are now riding a different direction than in the past.  great place to ride...racing there is really tough.

Yea, that's it.  I couldn't imagine racing there.  That's crazy.
