This is by far one of the most exciting trails I have ever been on. It is a short gradual downhill made by trail engineering genius. As you travel down the singletrack you will be banking left and right at an easy to achieve fast pace. I was smiling and hoping the experience would never end as my bike gracefully flowed to the finish. I turned to my friends that had already completed the run and as I looked to them I simply said “awesome”. They all had the same feelings I did about the trail and uttered the exact same word I used. We were sad it was so short but realized we can ride this trail as many times as we wanted to. There is a gravel road that runs along side the Kessel Run. We altered the responsibility of shuttling each other to the top and each of us rode this several more times that day.
Note: I recommend you go on this trail downhill only. The uphill traffic and hikers you will encounter on this ride kinda of ruins the euphoric bliss which emanates from the Kessel Run.
