Good warm-up and a short little loop designed for kids or those looking for a short, gentle ride.
A lot of kids love riding and ride this loop before and after riding everything else, and they can choose to ride it multiple times - we've heard of a 3 year old doing 10 laps of it in a row, they loved it so much It's a great place to start the wee people.
