      Felt a little bit like a hiking trail at times, lots of tight turns and roots everywhere, no where to build speed.. some spots were fun. Kinda suprised its only a green trail though. I had stop halfway because my tire was losing air. Might try again someday.

      Been a while since I rode this last. Local bike club has done some great work very recently. The trail is much more fun than i remember. Not bad at all for a local ride. Even a short jump line on one of the inner loops now.

      Towards the end of the outer loop there are several clusters of broken glass- keep your eyes peeled!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
