Spin Cycle is a great little DH ride. This fast, swooping downhill singletrack is about 2 miles long, dropping 800 vertical feet. It finishes with a gooseneck whoop-de-do bucking-horse plunge down an aspen-filled gulley. Great fun.
Unless you shuttle by car (and I'm not sure if that's legal), your ride will be several miles longer. Most riders do this ride on an XC or all-mountain bike, rather than a big gravity rig.If you don't mind some road climbing, the road loop adds 1.5 uphill miles on pavement to your 2 miles of downhill. This is quick and fun. Once you get hit the bottom, it's pretty quick to crank back to the top on pavement.
