This section has punchy climbs and downhills, crossing Via Las Brisas to link up with Sierra Vista Trail.

Keep pedaling north and jump on the Park View Trail.<br><br>At the bottom of the descent, complete a short climb and then cut left around the Dos Vientos Community Park until it reaches the Borchard Trail. This easy descent will lead to a pedestrian tunnel that connects to the short Sycamore Park Trail singletrack. <br><br>At the edge of the park, turn left onto Via Mirabella road and then take a right on Via Laguna to reach the El Encanto Trail for the last little bit of singletrack. One last grunt of a climb will take you to a sweet descent to finish the ride.
