Weekend Warrior Summary:
This really is a challenging trail... a great workout for sure, with enough terrain challenges to test your skills as well. Plus, it's down by the river, so it's pretty scenic...
Compared to Hollywood Farm, it's more technical, and more difficult aerobically.
And, on top of it, you're only a mile or so from Carl's for some post-race carb-replenishment.
2200 Princess Anne St... enjoy!
Recommended Route:
If you can ride it for the first time right after a race (www.fredevents.org), then there will be a fair number of signs giving you the optimum route.
If not, ride the fire road in and just before you hit the quarry lake, take a left up the hill... when in doubt, stay high until you're ready to go back down to the River and ultimately back to parking. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Richmond, Brown's Island: Love it
Ashland, Poor Farm: Like it
F-Burg, Hollysood/Lodi: Like it
F-Burg, Ferry Farm: o.k.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
given the location this trail is a 5. i never get tired of it as there are a good number of technical climbs to work on. in particular the climbs up on either side of the quarry are a ton of fun and give a good sense of accomplishment when completed. there is pretty regular trail building and maintenance going on back there so you're likely to find something new every other month or so Recommended Route:
climb the first hill ("1") after you pass the quarry (trail has a left turn you can can take). from there ride the ridge until it drops you back down close to the river. climb right back up for some more fun at stay along towards the top of the ridge. it will eventually drop you back down and loop back to take you on the path that goes back to the quarry
