      The amount of gravel is unnecessary, sloggy and slow, it's actually harder than just the dirt...let it be raw! Like the rest of the network, it should be left as is - everything else is amazing

      This trail was very hard to ride for my 8 year old soon due to the deep pea gravel. I get why it is there to try and prevent mud, but it seems like a different trail design with more drainage would have been better. If you are using this to access deeper trails, I would stay on the north side of this loop to avoid sloppy spots.

      Pea gravel yes but kindly disagree with its effect. Seems to help control the dampness of the trail and smooth out what might otherwise be bumpy. Agree that at present it adds some squishiness in a few places and anticipate that’ll resolve after it’s ridden more. My thought while riding, “this’d be ideal for introducing new riders to the sport.” Which isn’t to disagree with previous comments re the challenge.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
