La Léon, un des sentier signature du centre décrit par Bike Magazine – Ryan Stuart « We point the bikes down Leon, a rollicking ramble. Even though the trail just opened the weekend before, it feels and looks surprisingly established. Cobbles of stone link granite slab, turning what would be a disjointed trials test into a roller-coaster ride. A protruding rock or amiable stump is now a small kicker. Banks line every corner. It’s smooth and playful–the first of many joyful descents to come." (Ryan Stuart BIKE may 2016)

      Wow this is an awesome rocky tech descent! Lots of steep chunk. One drop with a b-line around it. One of my favorite trails of the trip and strongly recommended if you like rocky tech!!

      Dope trail but some parts are really extreme. Not for the average rider. You gotta be good good to ride this trail
      louisvillerider
      Sooo much fun. Lots of technical rock riding and not a ton of climbng. Old Leon was not as fun as this. I'd prefer just to lap this one and save the extra climb. Favorite trail of the trip.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
