Cinch is a trail that goes between the bottom of Cutler Twists and the middle of Mules Shoe. It cuts off the the eastern loop of Mules Shoe trail. Some that ride the area consider Cinch to run from the bottom of Cutlers Twist and go to the top of Pipeline. Others consider that Cinch runs from Cutlers Twist to the canyon where Mules Shoe comes back West. Depending on your definition Cinch runs either 0.3 or 1.0 miles. Either way it is a fun and pretty section of trail either direction, although most bikers will ride the trail from North to South, this will provide with fun flowy downhill but with some very steep switch backs. They are steep but short. It is a great way to get back to the South Gate parking lot after completing Cutlers Twists or Mules Ear/Mules Shoe loop.
