The first mile is relatively smooth, but is also twisty and tight. The middle section that runs along the creek is really rooty and can take away a lot of speed. There are a couple of side trails off the main trail with good downhills and technical sections. Overall, there is little elevation change but your main workout will probably be keeping the pace up over all the rooty sections. The NC Fat Tire Association keeps up this trail among others in the Triad area.
