This is where I learned to mountain bike, and I still enjoy this ride. There are some challenging hills, but not much in the way of technical obstacles. I was last there this past summer, and the biggest technical challenge is a large tree root just before you go up one of the two steeper hills. I took my girlfriend here for her first ride, and some of the downhill sections gave her pause, but she did great otherwise!

This is also a great trail for after work because most experienced riders can knock it out in right around an hour. This trail also has some single tracks off the main path, and people have made some ramps for some jumps.

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
