Course Conditions: "DRY and TASTY"

The Race Course: Camba has been maintaining and building the trails at West Branch for a long time. And that means good quality singletrack! The trails features many short climbs and descents in and out of the ravines that line the lake. You'll also find some large log piles, narrow log bridges, the Serpentine bridge, the Curved bridge, the Skinny bridge, and a variety of roots. The trails are suitable for most riders, from beginner to expert, with some short challenging downhills.
