Alders connects from Big Rose to Service Road 1700 and can be ridden in either direction.<br><br>From the south, exit the wide corridor of Big Rose and follow the Alders Trail into the trees... which are distinctly not alders at this point. The singletrack starts with a little weaving before it settles in for longer, straight stretches.<br><br>Just before the trail does reach the grove of alders, it enters a section of brief trail braiding. It's over quickly, and you can use it as an opportunity to make spontaneous line choices. <br><br>Keep an eye-out for a few squeezes where trees grow close to the trail, otherwise, it's a straightforward pedal to the road.
