Warrior Creek MTB Trail! Unbelievable! Super fast, awesome, and hard. My first time on this sweet trail with tons of berms. As a fairly experienced rider, this was difficult at times and requires concentration. There is potential for danger if you are too aggressive for your experience. I was nervous at times, but I absolutely loved this trail. I rode with my buddy who has ridden it before and is a stronger rider than me. We did hop off the bike in a few areas where I was uncomfortable. We made it home safely, and I can't wait to do it again.
