10 things you will learn at Directions ASIA 2023
From the young (or not so young) beginner, to the downhill pro, a flow trail delivers smiles for riders of all ages and skill level.
It is considered the "fast and flowy" section--quite a bit smoother overall than Butcher Ranch with a great downhill pitch. It has a number of blind LH corners so whistle or use a bell so you can alert anyone coming the opposite way. Plenty of kick ups, jumps, drops, and huge berms. Short and fast, with a few small jumps and some loose rocks to keep you on your toes. Tree down near southern trail head.
This is the third downhill only trail on the north side trail network. It can be accessed from the base at Old Fort Picnic Grounds or the base of the upper climb. Having gotten that out of the way, the Mana Road ride is absolutely beautiful and worth the ride. Starts off flowy with some good jumps then gets into more technical rock gardens. The trail has good flow with some spicy sections. Very windy so drying fast. Several high speed, low risk sections take you down the sandy open trail for some of the most fun downhills in the area. Even though it is a short trail it is extremely fun to ride. Built specifically for mountain bikes, a flow trail emphasizes speed and rhythm, featuring berms, rollers, jumps and other features that are designed in a way that uses the rider’s momentum to minimize pedaling and braking (think downhill pump track). One of the best downhills in the area. Don't miss this trail! This trail ends at the intersection of Middle Earth. Technically you can go both directions but everyone typically starts from Guardsman and either drops down Desolation or continues to Mill Canyon or Ridgeline Connector. Most climbs are of the paved/fireroad variety, most descents are a mix of loose rock, fixed rock, and good dirt. Just a few very small snow patches left on the connector to 38 Special.

An awesome descent, with some high speed ripping at the top, some root drops in the middle, and some great bank turns at the bottom. Fun!
