The Bobby is known as one of the best segments of trail at Sidie Hollow, and is one of the best flow trails in all of southwestern Wisconsin. It provides about 200 feet of elevation change in its 2 miles. As the core of Sidie Hollow, The Bobby helps provide limitless ride combinations with its connections to Der Oberlken, Wind Up, Well Digger, Dang, Girl, and Bake Sale.

The Bobby is technically the first piece of trail that Vernon Trails built as well as the first legal piece of singletrack in Vernon County. It is regarded as an intermediate level trail but has seen many beginners getting hooked on mountain biking as well as many advanced riders enjoying the fast flow.
