Summary:
I'm from New England. Mountain biking is much different mostly in the form of mountains and granite. I'm a down hill skier that loves to ski in the trees. This trail is awesome. It is about as close as I can get to skiing. It requires good use of balance and eyes focusing on the lines between the trees. Good workout and fun!

Summary:
It’s an awesome and fun trail, especially since it’s in the city (and for me close to home). There’s a little bit of everything on this trail - roots, tight turns, bridges and drops. Thanks to OEF, its well maintained. Great workout if you ride hard.

Summary:
Great trail. Is only 4 miles long, but a lot of fun. Can be ridden slow (30 min. laps) for a easy ride. Or fast (21 min) for a real aerobic / techical work out. Good trail for all skill levels.
Lots of roots, short drops, bridges, tight section, and a few fast sections. Lots of fun in a short trail.
Trail sees a lot of use by bikes and trail runners. Also needs 48 hrs. to dry after heavy rain.

Recommended Route:
One way trail. Map at TH (gravel parking area next to Meridan)

Summary:
OEF does a real good job keeping this trail rideable. I give it a 4 for techical because of the rooty ups and downs with switch-backs. I am used to steeper climbs, so I never change gears. If you are a beginner, do this trail, just ride it slower. I spooked a hiker last weekend, but she will survive. If you experienced, blast through it 3 times. I lost count of how many bridges in the first 3 minutes of the ride. 5 I think. Cheers
