ONE OE BEST of the new trails on Galbraith is Mullet, a trail with attitude that conveniently connects Galbraith's forehead to it's neck. And not a moment too soon!

Mullet starts its plunge from the 4000 Rd. not too far down the mountain below Wonderland, Naughty Nellie, Scorpion and Evolution. From there it quickly picks up speed and never lets up. Let me break it to you. Mullet is all about wide open big bike speed, with a lot of bermed corners, bridges, ramps, kickers and jumps thrown in for spice.

The trail is quite buff and actually climbs well, but if you want climb Mullet, keep you eyes and your ears open. The heavy traffic is coming down, and it is coming fast and not expecting to encounter anything on the trail ahead. As with SST (which happily offers the parallel Old Up climbing route), riders climbing Mullet have to be ready to jump out of the way at a moment's notice.

There is a neat flying exit from the upper Mullet to the 3100 Rd. that is reminiscent of the Big Heave on Lower Bob's, but not as steep or deep. Then the trail continues into the deep woods where it crosses Kaiser, sambas through the trees and traverses a long, long Trillium-built bridge (the longest on Galbraith), before finally dumping you out on the 2000 Rd. at the Blue Rock right across from the top of Shawn's Trail and not too far from 911. Most excellent!

The intersection with the Kaiser also allows access to the Three Pigs on one end and Oly, Bottle Openner and Keystone on the other.
