Itinerary description

21 kms, really tough, technical and legs-burning... All doable but quite a lot of of max alert moments when going down and max effort going up some of those ramps and full push to go over rocks and roots and around 10 times step/down to "walk it over". Very specific direction to do the loops depending on the week day. Tracks in perfect conditions and great signals. Half hour from north Atlanta. A real must MTB area.
These 21kms make the 21 kms at Harbins East a smooth workout ...
The first loop is a pure ramp all the way, ending up with good 10% and 12% ... The second loop has a first top (marked in this track with TOP2 on wpt) that gives some smooth elevations at 6% or 7% ... then there are a few other TOPs (TOP 3 4 5 6 7) and some of those have crazy 15% but short distances... burning legs takes you all the way up to those! Watch out for some wildlife... especially during the second loop, I saw two small female deers, not shy, very used to hikers/bikers.
