Great time hanging out with @kendallwelch as per usual. Check his channel out as well. We all rode Mont du Lac right before this and were tired but wanted more dirt before heading back down.
This trail is tucked away in Cloquet behind the National Guard Armory. They have quite a few runs of varying levels of skill. Lots of flow, lots of jibby features, short climbs, woodsy and beautiful, and quite close to I35 and the main strip in Cloquet with a ton of food and stuff right by it. Easy to stop on the way in/out of the North Shore from the Twin Cities area. Definitely worth your time even as a warm up for Spirit or the stuff further up north.
Was really enjoying the coil fork on this trail with all the baby head rocks. Still learning the fork and dialing it in. My shock is new this season as well, went from a Super Deluxe on my Spectral to a Marzocchi CR air right before we went to Arkansas. That's why you'll see me faffing with it so much during the rides. Not used to the dial adjuster for compression that Marzocchi has. Hard to know where you have it set and was trying to keep a balanced feel. Had just figured that shock out when I went to the Z1 Coil, which then necessitated further tinkering (which I enjoy, much to my ride friends' displeasure lmao). If anyone has advice on Marzocchi tuning and setup, please let me know :)
Enjoy!
