From the parking lot you will see a dirt road to the left of the housing area. Take this road for .5 miles. You will see a fire road to the right which will get you to the singletrack. At .9 miles is where the lollipop begins. You can go either left or right, you'll get the same either way. I went right and from this point the trail is very tight and steep but very ridable. My Garmin said the grade was 30%, for once, I believe it. At 1.2 miles you will pop out onto a road and by pop out, I mean POP out. BE CAREFUL! Take a left and ride on the road for about .2 miles. You will see a sign for an old one room school. This is where you get back into the woods on the left. Once you get past the school the singletrack begins again. You don't get long to get prepared for the uphill walk. Remember the 30% grade coming down, you get to go back up now. Garmin had it at 38% here. At 1.8 miles you come the the split in the trail and take your right to take you back to the beginning of your journey. Either way you ride this one, you're gonna get a nasty uphill battle. If anyone rides this and actually rides the entire thing. Call me, I want to meet Superman. The singletrack portion of this trail is tight and overgrown.
