Covered in a lot of leaves. Fun rocky climb followed by a quick downhill. Worth it for the extra miles from waterloo.

      Update: Ansley 2.0! Ansley has been reworked and is new and improved. Counterclockwise flow, Ansley’s first half is a challenging, leg thumping, bonus loop for Waterloo riders! The second half is a fun, flowy, downhill run. Very worth the effort

      Needs to be re-mapped. Developers demolished the east trail. Now just and out, loop, and back. Still a fun downhill on the way back.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
