Need to Know

While not mandatory, this trail is only enjoyably ridden downhill. It is best to shuttle or loop from CR375.

Description

With over 6 miles of of flow and hard technical moves, Vitamin B is quite simply one of the best trails I have ever ridden. In fact, if some evil spell was cast on me, and I was only allowed to ride one trail every day for the rest of my life, it just might be it. That being said, the Vitamin B isn't for the faint of heart. It weaves in and among the granite outcroppings that litter the Fourmile area. To try to explain all of the features on this trail would be wonderful, but it would take far too long, but you can expect granite slabs, ledge drops, and segments of fast flow followed by slow tech. For expert riders, this trail has it all!

Can't get into this thing. Way too much slow jank, forced through the tightest most awkward gaps. Overhyped. Also the Jeep road climb sucks.

This is definitely not for the faint of heart. Not sure who described this as having "fast flow" but there's very little of that on this route. 22.8mi
