Stuck Truck, Berma Trail

Stuck Truck

the ups:

Up or down, equal options for Stuck Truck. I prefer the up because it is a grind, and you really feel like you earned that trip to the top. It starts out tame with a gentle slope up and then it just happens. You hammer up the last portion of Stuck Truck that gives you a nice huff and puff. Nothing very technical, one section of steep that lasts about 20 yards.

the downs:

It begins with this nice section that lets you build up nice speed and is filled with these nice flowing bends. Stuck Truck offers a classic forest setting with big trees on both sides of the trail and it feels good when those are flying by on the descent. If you happen to be hitting this downhill in the evening at the end you enter into this almost creek feel and the air gets nice and cool with that perfect forest scent.

Berma Trail

the ups:

I guess if you wanted to you could go up this, but why? Before single track became the thing you rode old jeep trails and logging roads in McGaffey. This was a series of dirt roads that the Forest Service bulldozed to keep vehicles off. Those bulldozed roads became some very exciting mountain biking obstacles.

the downs:

It is about 10 minutes of bliss. The trail allows you to get top speed and once you hit the bottom half it is on. If you are not afraid to fly, you will have plenty of opportunity. Of all the trails you can find in McGaffey this one was made for the downhill.
