As the name implies, this trail loops around the BMX pump track. This single-track trail offers a bit of everything from, hard packed straightaways to tight turns to punchy climbs to small berms to rocks and roots which keeps it interesting. There are also opportunities to session a tabletop and a challenging step up. These jumps are near the pump track and are not integrated into the loop but are easy to find.
