The most fun you'll have on a novice trail. Ride the iconic Swoops and Loops trail clockwise and finish it up with a Cloudspin on the newly built trail in Weathersfield Town Forest. This ride is well-suited to families and beginners of all ages with terrain and features that help riders get comfortable: wide bridges, boardwalks and a variety of double and singletrack. One steep hill and switchback can be walked up or down, depending on the comfort of the rider. Ride it all or choose a loop, it all swoops
