City of Saint John

A fairly wide, open, and easy trail that loops around Crystal Lake. If you start riding from the Old Ski Hill parking lot you can use Crystal Lake to connect to It's Gotta Go, to Sweetness. Then follow the main trail back to Crystal Lake and stay on it until you can turn off into Simon Says. This is often used as the Race Loop for the Rockwood Challenge Provincial XC championships.
