 Trail was in excellent shape with some little muddy spots and some slippery spots due to lots of recent rain.

      Blue trail was fun and flows. Some decent water that was standing in places but there were enough pine needles for quick tire drying. My son sent it like a boss and ate it once but got back up and kept trucking. Overall good ride that can be handled by 9 and up.

      These trails on the SWU campus are great. They are not technically challenging at all, but are nonstop fast flow and are very well constructed. Lots of short climbs and descents. The trails drain really well after a rain, so are a good place to try when other areas are wet.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
