I will have ~ 2 hours to kill on Saturday and I plan to ride at the AnneSpringsClose Greenway area. I see the trails on MTBproject, etc., but what would you ride if you only had 2 hours? I don't think I have time for the "Fort Mill Trifecta" (> 30 miles)

I'm definitely interested in hitting the black diamond trails.

Any tips are appreciated (where to park, best trails, etc.)

No responses?
I guess that I need to do a trip report when I get back

I did about 21 miles of riding on Saturday: Follow Mark on Strava to see this activity. Join for free.

I parked at the Fort Mill YMCA At The Complex. Fort Mill YMCA at the Complex · 971 Tom Hall St, Fort Mill, SC 29715 The trail head is at the north end of the parking lot, near one of the ball fields.

I rode four trails:
Paradise loop - this is a relatively flowly loop with a fair amount of roots near the last 1/3 of the lap. This is directional trail (bikes ride CCW). Paradise Loop Mountain Bike Trail, Fort Mill, South Carolina
Tunnel trail - out and back trail that connects Paradise and the main parking to the other trails. The climb back on this trail is the only appreciable climb in the trail system. Tunnel Trail Mountain Bike Trail, Fort Mill, South Carolina
Mill Pond and Praire Loop - Mill Pond takes you up to Prairie Loop (which is directional). Prairie is a very fast, fun, truly flowy trail. It's about three miles with only 250 ft of elevation change. Prairie Loop (New) Mountain Bike Trail, Fort Mill, South Carolina

These trails are definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.
