The Masochist
A total beatdown of a ride touching nearly every trail
Stats:
TRAIL TYPE: Flow & tech
DISTANCE: 20 mi (32 km)
VERTICAL: 3,445' (1,050 m)
Description:
If you love to suffer, look no further. Nearly every trail in the local network linked together in the best way possible. We only leave out Goodnight Irene, because you can only descend to the valley floor once and “GNI” is too pleasurable fo masochists.
A quick loop through the Howe Block classics such as Clinic and Cyclone will get you ready for the climb up Evolution to the Eurich Pond network. A few laps through Ridgie, Race and Bitches Brew will prepare you for Pusherman, an old school tech trail that will keep you honest.
Pusherman careens off of the ridge to the exposed, technical High Plum. HP has a few unlikely seeming spots, but they all work if you’re feelin’ it!
The incredible Plum line is the final descent, which mixes the best of old school and new school into the most action packed trail in the valley that just goes on and on and on!!! There are more big hits on Pusherman-Plum that we can’t describe, but you’ll see the “DROP!” signs to warn you that it’s not just another berm ahead.
