Alright this trail has owned me going in this direction so far this year. I have yet to make it from the start to finish without putting a foot down. My last run going the opposite direction I didn't put a foot down for the first time and was on a little high note. It's got some off camber sections with roots that can make it a little tricky that have gotten me. I've taken a little time away from the trail as I'm getting my new spd pedal set up dialed in. Looking forward to taking a successful run at her real soon, hey just having fun out in the woods.

Well, power to you. If this were in the 50+ forum I'd say why bother ?.
I did all the technical stuff a few decades ago when I was younger. I no longer desire to have to explain to my wife where I got that bruise, or why I've a large bandage on elbow, LOL. I'm much happier riding somewhat easier ST where I can get a good workout by going hard, rather then trying to master trail features.
But good for you for going back to it.
