Ride the easy way out (and back) via grassy singletrack and a boardwalk through fernery. This loop covers a lot of ground through open fields, taking you to the area’s favorite trail. Your swooping ride down Hayride will leave you smiling. If you’re up for some more traditional singletrack after the first 5-ish mile loop, add another 1.5 miles (approximately) on Last Mile and Lou’s Loop.
