Description
Conway Robinson is a small state forest in the Gainesville area. It is a multi-use trail system that consist of an outer Blue Trail that is 3.2 miles with other loops crisscrossing through the center. Most of the system is beginner to intermediate terrain. There are some rocky and root section with a few creek crossings and log jumps. The orange trail is the most technical. It has some gnarly rock gardens, log jumps, and a couple of short steep climbs. If you ride here you'll encounter dog walkers, trail runners, and occasional equestrians. Since the trail is multi-directional you can put little loops together to gain some miles.

First time here. Did one lap of the blue loop and rode the orange and red connectors both ways. Good stuff; especially the super-chunky orange!

Very dry and dusty. Few leaves o the grown but not as much as you would expect this time of the year since last weekend's wind.

Great quick ride after work. Slightly technical (good for new riders, rigid bikes are fine) with rocks and roots, nothing too hard.
