There are three reasons to ride Johns:
1. You are training for the P2P
2. You are racing the P2P
3. You are from New England and miss wet rooty nonsense (and even then, this doesn't meet that level of interest; it's just annoying)
If none of the above apply to you, skip this.

I read it was built in the 90’s so I brought my ti hardtail and didn’t touch my dropper post. Hoping to replicate, as close as possible, the intended experience. Well a modern xc HT with 29” wheels, 120mm Sid fork and disk brakes is not the same as what I rode in 93’. It’s a fun trail with tight trees and some roots. In a modern full sus the trail will feel tame. It might even qualify as a green trail almost anywhere else, by today’s standards. But it was fun and reminded my of the trails from the past. And I for one feel we are mostly over biked on most trails.

This trail is pretty easy and not that great of a ride on a bike to be honest. Lots of hikers, which makes sense because it seems like an excellent hiking trail. It's pretty pedally and lots of turns. However, it does take you through some of the great terrain.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
