Red Maple Rip is a short addition to the Homer Folks Trail system built by Sam Brown-Shaklee and the SUNY Oneonta Mountain Biking Club in 2012. If riding from South to North, the first half is an old-school, meandering climb and the second half is new-school, bench-cut flowy rhythm sections with lots of rollers and potential airtime. Fun in both directions.

Disclaimer

This trail is a horseshoe loop off of the bottom of Stinger Trail. Most popular clockwise, but fun in either direction.
