Please don't ride when it's muddy. Ruts left in our clay desert soils set up like concrete and last for months.

Description

This is the perfect beginner loop, but it also flows fast enough to be fun for more advanced riders. There are a few things to challenge beginners, but overall they will have fun and feel successful.

There is some bench trail but, it is relatively smooth and 3+ feet wide. It is also connected to the JEM Trail, and Dead Ringer trail and so can be combined with these trails for a longer loop.

Great beginner trail for myself. If your first time, keep in mind which of the two entry points off of Dead Ringer you take to not get confused. — 0h 40m

Pretty easy warm up ride. A few features but not much excitement. Still a great ride with good views. AJ’s got the flu so this might be last ride 3.5mi
