Accessing Fair Hill through Big Elk Creek was new to me, and a fun adventure. It starts as a grass track through a meadow, mostly downhill, or easy peddling, but transitions into some rough single track. Extremely rocky descents, and rooted steep inclines. There was a giant mud trap and a small creek crossing to add to the experience. Once in Fair Hill, there’s an abundance of gravel riding or single track get lost in for hours.
