Mill Valley Training Loop - This is a perfect skills ride. 1 legal singletrack, 2 medium density illegal singletracks, 2 very low density illegal singletracks. The challenge varies from prime singletrack challenges to extremely advanced sections. Riders are encouraged to wear protection but this must work with the scope of the ride. Knee protection for light climing and basic singletrack sections. Maximum protection for advanced decents. Armor should be removable for the climb from Mountain Home in to Ridgecrest. Full face helmet as desired.
