      I've ridden at Big Bear Lake twice while visiting family in the area. The Race Loop is a very fun ride with several fun features and a different kind of flow. I didn't enjoy the chunky downhill about 10 miles in and will cut over to Gene's Trail the next time I ride here.

      5 stars because I think this trail is worth riding if you're in the area.
