Summary:
This trail had a little bit of everything. I was a pleasure to ride. I am a competitive rider and enjoyed this trail. The jumps are excellent. I even got to Bunny hop roots going up hill. The drop off is something else. First time through I almost went over the bars. The second sime I pulled up and jumped it smoothly. The drop off blends in with the hill so be carefull. I rated this trail a 5 for a few reasons below. Small but still good hills.

Summary:
Overall, a nice trail for novice or intermediate bikers. A great trail for single speed riders due to the lack of climbs. The trail map indicates that you should allow 2 hours for a loop, in reality most riders complete it in half that time. This trail seems to define the meaning of hardpack. There are very few sandy spots and where they exist they're short and shallow. Quite a few roots and some lower hanging branches. Pros - Some very nice whoopee doos about 5.5 miles into the loop. Another fine set about a mile after that with a couple serious drops that leave little room for error (I saw a guy with a full face helmet in the parking lot... I take back everything I was thinking when I first saw him). Some nice downhills, but be careful of the sharp turns at the end of the run. Very nice job from the trail maintenance crew to restore the trail after that huge storm. Cons - The most switchbacks I've ever seen in a trail this size. The only purpose I can see for most of them is to lengthen out the trail. The first few miles of the loop almost drive you insane since you can't pick up any speed for the most part. It almost appears that the trail followed some drunken deer path. There's an extremely lengthy list of rules and fines like no other I've ever seen. The $1 fee to get in a park (but it's worth it). Things to look out for - Still some clean up needed after the storm. There are some limbs that will quickly show you how it would feel to be jousted off your bike if you cut a turn too close. The sign at the first T-intersection (5 miles in) has the top arrow broken pointing to the more technical and fun section.

Recommended Route:
Full 10 mile loop.
