Gravel/Cross loop at Blue Hills covering the Buck Hill side of the park.

Following most the marked WHITE ARROW loop, the terrain is mix of loose and packed dirt doubletrack. There are few sections that are considered "technical" when riding a 700c bike but good lines will make quick work of them. The difficult sections of the WHITE ARROW loop where mountain bikes can handle the chunk are bypassed. There's two small hills to climb - one paved, one fireroad.

Link this loop with the other two Blue Hills Gravel Bike loops to build out a great day on the bike
