Bill H from Gville Date: October 27, 2002 Trail Ridden: Ridden Once
Recommended Route: website Other recommended trails in the same area: Go south to San Felasco or Razorback. Try the posted section that runs along the river(The Florida Trail). It's pretty fun although it hasn't been cleared in a while and you may get shot in the process.
Review: Flat and fast, not much for technical except the last 1/2 mile stretch parallel to the road. Well maintained but overall kind of boring.	Overall Rating:
