Manorville Hills is not extremely technical but true to it's name as it is HILLY! The most technical part is keeping the downhill speed within the limit of your control. One good part of this trail is that there are several fire roads (also hilly) that provide a good way to shorten the route if the hills become too much. Check out the "bail outs" on two maps provided on the CLIMB website:

Bringing one of these maps along is always a good idea!

The B/B+ rating is NOT an indication of the speed but of the effort of the ride BUT remember don't worry as NO ONE GETS DROPPED IN THE WOODS!

Check back to this post before Monday and check back before leaving for the ride start as Life happens and things tend to change.
