MOONSHINE
GRADE: 3. LENGTH: 0.4KM
BUILT: by Richard Caudwell in 2010.
GETTING THERE: The entrance to this is just before you exit from Roller Coaster onto Ring Road. It runs parallel to Ring and is a good alternative to the road or the last part of Roller Coaster across ring Road (which gets little traffic and is a bit of a grovel).
TRAIL DESCRIPTION: Moonshine is lumpy in places and has some rooty, technical sections - so fun to ride and in keeping with the style of Roller Coaster with a couple of sections that step it up a little.
Ride it a few times and you'll start to dial in the high lines and figure out how to finess the flow from the trail.
GETTING OUT:
Exits onto Reservoir Road above Chop Suey trail head. A quick spin up the road takes you to Hill Road
