Been off the saddle for a long time and today (4/13/03) was my first time ridding this now "official" trail (I use to ride the back trails before it was official and groomed). Nice parking and picknick tables at the foot of this trail. The worst thing about this trail is the lack of proper markings (direction arrows) in *some* areas that open to 2 or 3 different directions. Even at the beginning of the trail it appeared one needed to start on the LEFT trail but most people were starting on the RIGHT. About 200ft from the start on the LEFT trail it split into 2 directions with no signs (I took right fork). I love the *natural* elevation changes! Another nice touch to this trail is the several openings to let tired or beginner ridders exit onto paved single track or simply exit (the "P" signs). While the trail had some "expert" areas, I thought they were weak or too simple. I did appreciate 2 or 3 ramp drop offs, while they had potential, the deep sand at their base made it difficult to land a cross-up or big jump (besides, we need rain). Overall, this trail has fantastic potential. Hopefully, in the future it will have better directional markings as this is the only real issue I had with it. |

Wonderful setting, good variety and well cared for by a local club. Popular and sometimes crowded. Black Diamond runs are impressive. |
