Mt. Philo

Average Rating:

(2 of 5)

No. of Reviews: 6

Steep paved road without any tehnical difficulty. Look off the the sides for some very gnarly tehnical trails. Some are very rooty and imposible to go up when wet. Very fun to go down. If anyone else knows some good champlain valley trails post 'em.

Reviewed by: Rodeospokes , Cross Country Rider Summary: Mr philo is best for a good grind on your road bike. If your out on a long ride throw in a climb up the mountain to test your self. It only takes about 15 minutes to go up but its steep. Would you like to Comment? Join MTBR for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Review Date March 1, 2003 Overall Rating 1 of 5 Ridden Trail: Every few months Rate this review?		Reviewed by: Eli , from Middlebury, VT Summary: Go to a local shop to ask directions to good trails and check on access issues and trail conditions. Recommended Route: Philo is a weak little park. Nice place to walk your dog, not worth hauling the bike. Views? Yeah, they're ok, but nothing compared to what some real effort will get you. Would you like to Comment?

Review Date October 5, 2002 Overall Rating 2 of 5 Ridden Trail: Once a year Rate this review?		Reviewed by: steve , from Burly Summary: Mt. Philo has some crazy views from the top, as well as camping in season.Winter time see mad tobagganeers wail down from the top. We tried a midnight run down once and it was way scarier than that. Recommended Route: There are switchbacks that weave up the hill.The road is for heavy older steel. Woods are for riding bikey.I suggest aluminum.Doh! Other recommended trails in the same area: To Chris: pay the fee or go later in the year. Views excellent, trails exist.Boo! Would you like to Comment?
