Old School is a 9-mile intermediate tour through some of the oldest trails at Concord Park. This is classic, hand-built East Tennessee singletrack—rooty, tight, twisty, and full of short, punchy climbs that make the roughly 1,200 feet of climbing feel earned.

The route links West Loop, Orient Loop, Middle East Loop, and Inner Loop, trading newer flow for narrow wooded trail and plenty of old-school character.

Nothing here is particularly big or sustained, but the constant roots, turns, climbs, and descents keep you working. If you want to experience the original flavor of riding at Concord, Old School is the loop.

There's 6 trees and one large branch down on inner portion of the loop. A couple of the trees and the branch could be cleared with a handsaw. The rest are going to require a chainsaw.
