Description

El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve, aka Skegg’s Point, is a mountain biker’s playground. This loop features the lower section of Steam Donkey and the Blue Blossom trail, two of the best singletrack descents of the park. It also throws the brutal Springboard climb at you, as well as the Manzanita trail in the uphill direction.
