Summary:
I have only ridden this trail once but I thought it had a lot to offer. It had many hard climbs so it is definitely an aerobic workout. You will need good bike handling skills because there are lots of tight turns and tricky jumps heading into turns. You probably need to go somewhere else if it is wet. I liked this trail better than hobby park.

Summary:
I have been cleaning up the trail all summer and have begun to gravel the muddy spots to make it more durable and rideable following wet weather. It is much more enjoyable now than it has been for a few years. Try it out. Advanced riders can really enjoy this trail too by doing multiple laps. It's technical and speedy sections are spaced well, so the relatively short length isn't really noticeable. I think it is a compact version of Hobby Park, perhaps even a little more technical these days. It's a "sleeper" trail that isn't too far from town. Shorter length is ideal for after work rides, just add or subtact laps as time permits. Beginners can do well here too with the bypass sections that are available, then add length as experience grows.

Recommended Route:
It is well marked and has bypass sections to shorten it substantially for beginners. Firsttimers take a minute to review sign markings at trailhead. Take a practice lap or two to learn the route, then let'er rip. It is very compact, so you are never very far from the parking lot. If you ride it fast all the way from the parking lot, you won't be dissapointed with 3.8 mile trail length.

Summary:
I ride this trail regularly, but mostly for variety. I have never been able to fall in love with this course. Though there are lots of sections I do enjoy, it isn't as much fun as Hobby or Tanglewood. Maybe it's the long uphill the the parking lot after it's over. Does require good bike handling skills and will give a great aerobic workout.

Summary:
Nice trail. A little under used, therefore overgrown, but not a problem to navigate. Good workout! Lots of wildlife.
