Flat and fast. Roots and short climbs. Creek crossings and rocks on WIne.
You really should go ride it and decide for yourself.

Modoc....tough...not true, IMHO. Modoc can be tough when ridden w/ Turkey and Wine, in the same day, both directions on all three. Then they are all tough and you've ridden 54 miles.

But a little in/out of Modoc is a fun 11-12 mile ride. But I wouldn't call it tough. Modoc does have one spot that I have to walk everytime....and it's about a 1/4 mile from the car.

Modoc is the toughest of the three discussed here.

Modoc, I think the word were searching for is its more Technical, not neccesarily tough though it is also the toughest of the three as seenvic said.
