Cloverpatch #3457

Overview

Cloverpatch starts at an intersection with Tire Mountain. Settle in for a grinding climb. There are a few steep lung burners mixed into steady pedaling. You'll have plenty of time to contemplate the vastness of the forests around Oakridge.<br><br>As any good climb is rewarded by a great descent, Cloverpatch is no different. Cross the road after the climb tops out, drop your seat and get ready for some rowdiness!<br><br>The upper reaches of the climb are fast and relatively smooth with big sweeping turns. The middle of the descent starts getting into more steep and exposed trails with a surprising section of scree/chunder mixed in to keep you on your toes.<br><br>The lower reaches of the descent are steep with a couple of abrupt creek crossings. Expect to transition quickly between braking and pedaling in these sections.<br><br>Cloverpatch ends at a USFS Rd. Continue straight (stay right) to continue on the A-T-C-A ride.
