 Over grown and doesn't look maintained. Major washout ruts that could be dangerous to beginner riders. Ending berm is pretty rough for a beginner.

      Stopped here to ride on the way back to Richmond. The Beginner DH is not really a DH. On the map it shows that it connects to the other DH lines at the bottom but it doesn’t. It starts going back up and doesn’t go down hill. We decided to go back to the top and take the Advanced DH which was fun.

      This is a mowed "route" through the field hillside. CAUTION: Many thorny brambles and cut stems make for very bad bike tire conditions. It is a mild steep climb back up to run the jump lines.

      Trail is pretty much gone. The whole park is starting to go downhill. You can tell Bedford doesn't care about it. Seems they put all there money into the stupid disc golf course.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
