Brock 26

Brock 26 runs parallel to 29, meeting near the intersection with 27. It's the harder of the two shortcut options meeting in the middle of the 23 loop. Leaf coverage and washouts make the trail hard to see at times. It switchbacks up a hillside full of leaves and boulders. Traction is tough in spots, and it's often hard to see where you're going. There are a lot of big rocks, a tricky off-camber log across the trail, and a steep side-hill that will give the average rider a test of their skill. Watch out for low branches and vines that grab at you as you pass. Expect to see moisture on the trail in spring.
