This is a great trail for exercise. I ride it frequently. There are two more advanced features worth mentioning, which are just off the main trail - entirely optional.
The first is the Log Ness Monster - a rolling skinny with fairly high consequences in relation to the rest of the trail. It's located in the switchbacks on the NE end of the trail.
The other is a rock garden closer to the gravity trails. It's low speed, so balance and line choice are critical. It's also fairly low consequence and nice for practicing technical moves.

It is a nice single track practice trail to stay in shape, but it is definitely a green trail. Good for beginners to get into mountain biking. The best part is the entrance from the aquatic center parking lot near the dumpster. That is a nice little piece of downhill that would be considered blue, but it is not really a part of the trail.

Appears to be a new feature here about half way down the trail. It’s a pretty epic skinny. ????
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
