Land Owner
Designed and built by Al Sanborn, the purple Trail is a typical awesome old school New England mountain biking trail with lots of ups and downs, twists and turns and many rock features. The trail is best ridden downhill from the Pipeline access, for a fast, fun technical ride. One of the best mountain biking trails in the network.
