Summary:
Depending on which way you ride this, it's either a super-intense workout or a break-neck thrillride. The ride up from Peutz is straightforward and not too technical, although it is relentless. I wouldn't classify it as "insanely hard" as Early Demise states it is. Just make sure to set your seatpost up. If you are going up to World Cup from Four Corners, you will really need to hike. It's too difficult to gain enough momentum to work your way up this part of the trail. The ride down is a total blast, though, with lots of drop-offs, doubles, bermed turns, ladders and ramps. World cup is a very advanced trail and should really be left to advanced riders with sturdy bikes. i've seen peolple get hurt badly up there.

Recommended Route:
Park at Peutz Rd under the 8 overpass and ride up the road to the Wall Of Bofus. Trail is self expanatory from this point up.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Mission Trails is fun, Steele Canyon Singletrack behind Sweetwater Reservoir, Marian Bear and La Costa.

Summary:
Well I live near this trail and ride it often with my friend who lives at the entrance of this trail. It is pretty basic at the beginning, just steap and a little sandy. Later on though it get technical because the trail has a lot of little cravices and you have to ride between them on thin pieces of dirt. Overall it has steapness, technical parts, little bunny hop jumps and a little ascending, but is one fun 8-9 mile ride.

Recommended Route:
down not up. Up is insanely hard.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Anything in The Mission Trails park.

Summary:
Long awesome climb up, a few rocks here and there, but nothing that can't be rolled over with some doing. Good aerobic fun in general. Not nearly enough of a challenge to warrant a shuttle up, unless you just don't enjoy peddling a bike. The mesa has some cool, but short and technical singletrack. There as many or as few 2-3 foot wheelie drops as anyone could like. Lots to explore at the top and I haven't seen it all. A few cool granite rock sections that beg to be sessioned over and over. Great skills builder for a novice rider (me).
Descending is quick with some tricky rocky and rutted (deeply rutted) sections. Might be a good idea to remember where the trail has fallen off the edge into the resevoir. It is a long way down.

Good:
Long interrupted ride.
Options galore for the technical stuff (its there if you want it).
Ruts and rocks.
Aerobic difficulty porportional to the speed you ascend with.
Awesome area.

Bad:
Snakes.
Deep Ruts.
Heat.
Sections of trail missing near the 2nd shady area on the way up.
Long fall from any point.

Recommended Route:
Peutz road or something like that.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Sycamore, etc.

Summary:
Finally got out to ride the Anderson Truck Trail after the fires (2 yrs later). Good news is the trail is in excellent shape, even after all the rains. Minimal ruts and loose sand - Almost all of the trail is rideable, but of course technical.

We didn't know any better and took the old entrance point trail, through Bulldozer Bob's land and ran into the "Great Wall of Bofus". You can get around the wall, but there is a new access point a couple of hundred yards up the road - across from the "red, white & blue" propane tank.

Good trail and training ride - recommended it.

Summary:
I finally went out and checked out this trail. I didn't know what to expect since I've heard so much about the infamous steel wall and jerk property owner. Here's the deal- the trail is now rerouted on the other side of the canyon that now bypasses the steel wall. From here it's easy- short, mellow downhill to the climb. The climb isn't that bad-great view, variety of terrain, dirt, sand, rocks- most of the trail is severely rutted out from the rain- it makes picking your line more challenging on the way down. I only went up to the top of ATT, you could keep going up and further back in the mountains to eco challenge and world cup. There's a fun section of single track that hooks back into the main trail- a couple mellow 3-4ft rock drops, flowy singletrack. As for the rest, there is nothing too technical-it's fast- tons of deep ruts from the rain to check you speed a little. I'd definitely recommend this trail. It's not too far from San Diego- easy access and you can make a long or short ride out of it.

Recommended Route:
Just exit 8 at Habison canyon, go straight, make a left after exactly 1 mile and park next to overpass- follow pavement to trailhead off the left after a short climb. You don't need to go through that guy's property or go around any steel wall. I climbed it on a about a 43 pound freeride bike.
