Was the most interesting hand throttle clutch pop hill restart i've ever done, especially as it was my old man at the wheel of my car. Al Only track I know of that runs from Bulltown or Hogtown is Bulltown Spur.

The fine dust would just wash away leaving all the rock exposed.

I have been up billy goats a few times. It's radical especially near the top where you are on a narrow ridge and you are tired of just holding on and bouncing around. One wrong bounce and you would go over the cliff.. Only saving grace is that it has a lot of bare rock for good traction.A real hard hill is basalt knob track. It starts close to bull town spur but goes up hill other side of valley. Located just out of talbotville camp ground. It's a hill you only want to go up never down. Some years it is impossible to get up it but some years it is easier. Makes each trip here more fun and unpredictable.
Great riding round here. Makes me want go back one weekend soon.
