Rock Candy Mountain Not So Sweet

Tried to ride an “old favorite” today -- Rock Candy Mountain’s B5000 road. B5000 is a great hill conditioner – well it was when it was there. Worth noting: the bridge is out and DNR’s Chris Knutson says it won’t be replaced for another year. Even if you ride up the Rim Rock trail to get around the bridge and catch the road going up . . . you’ll face yet another chasm (see picture).

The trail (Rim Rock) going up was too greasy, baby-head rocked, and very steep to ride so it was back down over numerous washed out areas. B5000 area is not worth the effort for hill conditioning. A better choice is Kennedy Creek for hill conditioning. Rock Candy is great though if you like a lot of bush whacking!
