      “Loamy” is not the word I would use. It’s all pretty dandy. This is a fun little mixed double track/singletrack. No hard moves and not much vert.

      completely unsigned and unsustainable trail with multiple dirt roads and sucker trails crossing it. Described as a easy three mile ride. Rode it CCW and lost the trail multiple times. Finally extracted myself after wandering around for several hours that went long past sunset by crossing over into someones property and riding out to Teanaway road on their drive way. The Teanaway Community forest has the terrain to support a Bend size trail system however until the trails are at the very least marked they should not be promoted to non locals.No one reading the trail description here or trying to follow the map on this site should rely on them to navigate what should be an easy spin. Without a detailed map describing the intersecting roads the ride is bound to be nearly un-navigable without GPS.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
