Sweet! Is this a loop or an out and back ride? How many miles?
When do you have a Saturday off so we can come ride?

This is a loop trail, about 3 miles is all but it is all a workout. I have ridden it as an out and back - all on the upper shelf, but the drop down to the lower shelves makes this trail...LOTS of places to drop off, lots of balancing acts around most corners...TIGHT singletrack!
COME and play!

a few members of the Green River Mountain Bike Association(me included) are continuing work on it everytime we ride it. We all kinda work on the local trails everytime we ride em...you know how that works :haha: There are a number of drops but right now we are mainly working on making the trail more followable/ridable. Now, if you wanted to explore, there are LOTS of extra ways possible....the DROPS are all over the place! There's a small section that is hard to climb even in granny gear( a little soft) but that's how most trails go....

I actually have a day off work! I have been working days, nights and anything inbetween! It feels good...... so I am working on the website and taking a break once in a while to give the men in here a hard time as usual. :mrgreen:
I do like to have my own personal trail guide for stuff. :nod:
