Description:
We picked this ride off the Mt Mansfield/Stowe mountain bike trail map. This was one of the few rides on the map that had singletrack so we had to try it out. After climbing a little over 1000 feet on double track and descending another few hundred feet (still on doubletrack), we finally turned left onto the singletrack. Steep, fast descent, a few rocks, and very overgrown trail. It was still great though, all rideable. On the way back down we stuck to the singletrack that parallels the gravel road and it was crazy up and down. You'll scream down a hill about 1/10 of a mile and then power right back up for another 1/10 mile steep climb. Nice scenery too.
