Weekend Warrior Summary:
I've wanted to ride this trail for the last two years and finally took advantage while taking a Thanksgiving vacation with the folks in Lawrence. I'm an all mountain rider living on the Front Range of Colorado and from that perspective still found the trail physically demanding and technically challenging in parts. The trail system is mostly very narrow and windy taking advantage of the natural rock formations, valleys and hill slopes. I'm not sure of the total distance but it feels like a well earned 20 miles doing a full outer loop. The trails are designed very well and appear to be sustainable and very well maintained by a local rider(s) that must work very hard on the system. Thanks for that. This trail has become one of my all time favorites and a great excuse to take a break from the parents. Oh, and by the way one of my friends from Colorado broke his frame on the ride. Cool. Recommended Route:
From the trailhead we did the full outer loop. Stay right and you can't go wrong. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Clinton is very similar but with an extra credit skills course at the end. Kill Creek is also a rocky and windy system that's worth while.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
Smartly laid out trail that has two things you don't see often in Kansas: exposure and switchbacks. Mostly rocky, hilly singletrack. Technical enough to keep experienced riders interested, but decent introdution to technical riding for a novice if you don't mind pushing your bike occasionally. Navigation is pretty easy with a map (available at trailhead), but trail intersections aren't always well marked, so don't be surprised if you miss a few turns.

Weekend Warrior Summary:
Loved this trail system!! Rode Skyline, MadMile, and Wild West. Didn't get a chance to ride Logan's Run or the other longer trails due to time constraints, but I will be back to check them out at a later date, guaran-damn-teed!!! Recommended Route:
Well marked, and maps available at the trailhead, just go!!! Other recommended trails in the same area:
Landhal in Blue Springs, MO
and the singletrack that follows the river in Lawerance..not sure about the name...

Cross Country Rider Summary:
This is probably the best trail in Kansas. Decent climbs, fairly technical but overall just fun to ride. Recommended Route:
All of it is good. For short and intense go Skyline to Wildwest, Great White or Mad Mile. For longer rides head out along blackfoot, Twin Peaks, Coppperhead and Logans Run. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Clinton Lake, KC area stuff...

, from Topeka, KS Summary:
The scenery is excellent and the trails are well maintained and marked and maps are available at the trailhead. As a parent whose oldest child wants to learn to ride with mom and dad, Lake Perry has a excellent 1/4 mile trail near the trailhead built especially for children and beginners to work on their basic skills.
