    Tips

    April 23, 2015

    Cusacks Trail takes you from Buzzard Lagoon Road to Aptos Creek Road. Along the way, it keeps you working since its average attitude is uphill. This is a tight singletrack and it allows you to put your line selection skills to good use in at least a couple of short downhill technical stretches.



    What's more notable about the trail is a short uphill scramble that looks like a dry rapids where you'll have to struggle over and around boulders (or simply walk, of course). This singletrack also features what must be the most deeply gouged trail segment I've ever seen anywhere (too much clay in the soil?), just before it drops you onto Aptos Creek Road.
