Trail Description:
Beantiful singletrack over rolling hills. Lots of sprint climbs and swooping downhills. Trail goes around Hensley Lake. elevation changes drastically, from high up in the trees to plowing through a part of the lake! (when the water is high). Lots of fun. Gorgeous views. Make sure you beginners have your climbing skills.

How to get there:
Take Hwy 99 to Fwy 41. Head north into Madera. Drive west on Avenue 145, then north on Road 33. (Don't worry, there are roadsigns.) On Road 33, take a right at an upcoming t-junction. From there you will shortly enter the Hensley Lake area. Look for the Buckridge sign (2nd big sign) and turn left, then an immediate right. The trail starts behind the "Fire Road" gate. You will see a bicycle trail sign a few yards down the trail to confirm.
