8.5 mile loop with rolling hills on single track. From the parking lot off of Vollmer Rd (this is the only access point to the trail system) there is a short section to the loop which you have to ride going to/from the parking lot.

      Fantastic trail to get some flow in; mostly XC or gravel, certainly not technical or advanced (heavily used by equestrians and hikers - please be courteous). A new(ish) section has been added off the access road to the parking lot that connects at the small pond; great for adding a few extra miles to the loop. Fun trail for an aerobic workout.

      Still closed! Went over to Black Forest Regional
      Park, all trails there were dry. So, hopefully Pineries reopens soon.
