Description

This trail is just over ten miles in length and was the first loop trail built at MMCC. Mile markers are posted along the length, so you always have an idea of how far into the loop you are. There's a nice mix of relatively flat, fast sections and tight, root-strewn, technical sections. The Blue Loop doesn't have a huge amount of elevation gain or loss at any point, but there are enough small hills to be able to test your descending and climbing chops.

This is a really fun track, good climbs, fun downhills and in good condition, although the random rocks can through you off.

Very fun romp through the woods. Not a lot of elevation change but nice flow. Early fall leaves and cool temps, great time of year.
