feeling with the road becoming over grown. Around 8 miles Middle Fork Trail will be on your left. <br />

crossings. At 2.4 miles turn right on Fletcher Creek Trail then cross a creek and the Spencer <br />

nice spot for lunch. If you want to spice up the ride turn right on Spencer Branch Trail. You will <br />
walk some of this if your not a Pro. It will dump you out at the Reservoir.
