Deadman

Deadman is an easy/moderate single track in the Manzanita Mountain trail system near Albuquerque, New Mexico. The northern half of the trail is a fast ripper; it's smooth with no rocks. The trees aren't so closely lining the trail here, and there are big straight sections, so you can get going fast. It goes underneath tall pine trees in a more wooded section, compared to the northern part of this trail system which is more desert. It's super easy until it meets up with Southern Crossing and rounds the corner. Then it steadily climbs up and there's an 8th mile section of pretty big rocks. There are 4 to 5 one-foot-high ledges that you have to work your way around. These ledges are near the intersection with the Oak Flat Connector.
