Itinerary:

So there's dirt trail that runs along the north side of Taylor Creek that I've been meaning to investigate for a while. We'll follow until we can't follow any more. The trail is well used (I saw a group running along it a while ago) and found then found a mountain biking map that shows a trail there.

Mountain biking trails can be challenging, please be prepared.

Pace: Moderate (4.5 km/hr.) with short breaks.
