Please follow the signage at this preserve. Despite the above description, riders MAY NOT use Ailor Trail, Vanderlip, or Kubota for MTB. The trails that are open for bikes are clearly marked as such. Respect the rules we have here so no more trails are closed to mountain bikers. Here's a link so you know before you go. rpvca.gov/DocumentCenter/Vi… May 6, 2018
