Today I am waking up early and exploring Johnny’s Swamp of Doom! Part of the Carrick Tract Trail System, this trail system offers Easy (Green) to Difficult (Black Diamond).

@2:22 - I love using tree roots as a little berm to expand the trail and get the line I want through these trees. I found it important to keep enough speed so as to spend as little time possible biking uphill.
@3:00 - The ground is very loose and rocky, with roots thrown in. I'm riding this trail completely blind, unsure how much trail work is done here, hoping I don't go too quick and slide off the trail down the hill into the trees.
@4:00 - I love that they built a switchback here that climbs (easily) over this large rock. Too bad the trail didn't use this rock as a jump going the other direction!
@4:45 - After finishing the climb, which wasn't so bad since it's an easy trail, you are rewarded again with more high speed sections and some flowing track.
