Ridden Trail:
Ridden Once

Reviewed by: jmoh , from Knoxville, IA

Summary:
I was there over Labor Day weekend. The race course was still marked out so I rode the loop a couple of times. There are some really sweet dirt jumps along the vehicle access road and a few log crossings. Nice local trail system that is perfect for a single speed. I was just passing through the area so I stopped to ride it. I would not travel there specifically to ride this trail. Make sure you bring your bug repellant-- the mosquitos were terrible (West Nile). I have not ridden Brushy Creek yet but will review after I have.

Ridden Trail:
Once a week

Reviewed by: Rory Mason , from New Milford, CT USA

Summary:
This trail was raced for the first time last year and received glowing praise from all. 3 mile loop, do as many laps as you want. Experts did 5, sports did 4. This is my favorite trail to ride on a single speed. From the back side, you can ride along the rr tracks and join the trails at the gypsum mines - lots more trails (and hills).

Recommended Route:
The race course is pretty obvious. There is a yellow arrow painted on the side of a big tree behind the bandshell. Enter here. Down the hill, across the creek then follow until you hit the gravel road. Option here is to take a right and look for a quick right into the loop which follows the opposite side of the creek. Otherwise, go up the gravel road to the back side, which includes a downhill, creek crossing, and an ungodly steep short climb, doable if it's dry. The rest is not obvious, but you can find it.
