If you want to ride from the top/down, most riders park near Canyon Vista Park (near Canyon Vistas and Pacific Park Drive). 5 Oaks is also accessible at the bottom from Wood Canyon trail
I love this trail. There are two starting spots at the top. 1 is right next to the power pole, or you can ascend past the power pole and get some more roll in speed. As you drop in there is a right hand berm that leads down to a concrete rain gutter that crosses the trail. Keep speed up and go straight over it. This will work as a fun little kicker and send you straight into the first two foot step down. There are a couple of off cambers through the rest of the trail. However, you can keep speed up. The trail ends down a spiral staircase. If you stay too far right you will miss the bridge and end up in the ditch. I have done it.
| ThankNice down hill that can be slightly deceiving the first time you ride as you begin in an open flat-ish area, but you can soon begin to build up speed. The descent soon turns into a rocky ride downhill with some steps downs and corners. At the bottom you cross over a number of small wooden bridges - the last one has rails at both sides, which might be important to you if you like to ride with really wide bars... Trail is multi use, so watch for hikers
