Neshaminy Race Loop

If ADHD was a trail, it would be this trail. Right when you hit some nice flow there’s an intersection or one of 17 different colored hash marks or a shitty loose rock section full of ATV tracks. If you have time to drive elsewhere, drive there and skip this trail.

Fun ride, but be prepared for a very XC-focused trail with much more climbing than descending (makes sense as this is an XC race loop). Singletrack is tight and not the flowiest in spots. There is some flow to be found, but you really need to work for it. Descents are quick and short-lived. You are always pedaling on flat or climbing it seems.

This is 90% green, flat-ish singletrack. There is 1 tricky descent - from the bowtie, you'll follow a sketchy, tight, loose, rocky section down to the creek that I'd consider a blue. Lasts about 60 seconds but it's super fun, and the bowtie can mess ya up if you're not careful! Other than that, a few logs, bridges, roots, and punchy climbs but nothing too crazy. 2 long climbs, one on a fireroad and another more technical one from the creek up. There are some creative (and steep) lines to be found descending towards the creek but again, all pretty short-lived.

Good ride for a beginner looking to kick it up a notch or for someone looking for a classic XC-type challenge. If gravity rewards motivate you, skip it.
