This trail was primarily a running/hiking trail, but has been ridden and beat in enough to now open for mountain biking. Please note that runners and hikers ALWAYS have the Right of Way - ALWAYS stop and let them pass.

This is actually a better downhill trail than uphill and is another way to get back to the Lacrosse Fields at the end of your ride. It is likely not a joy to ride uphill, but that is in the eyes of the beholder. This trail WAS NOT built by RI NEMBA.

      Trail rating is not just based on features, but max grade and relative difficulty to other trails in the riding area, which would put it between blue and black for Woody, leaning towards black. Regardless, for opinions to start coming out just to conflict with the new signs and make a mismatch is pretty rude to the builders.

      Agreed. Great trail, but nowhere near a black Diamond rating. It’s a hard green at best, the most difficulty being some off camber sections a punchy climb midway that interrupts the general downhill direction. It is, however, a super fun alternative to drop back down to the LAX field.

      This is not a black Diamond trail, this is barely a blue, there are zero hard/technical features on this trail

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
