Description

Bacon Bits rides great in either direction. When combined with Sausage Link & Midland Bike Trail (or Unchained if you're looking for a technical challenge), it makes one of the best singletrack loops in the area.

Bacon Bits begins off of CR376a. It can be accessed from CR304 (Midland TH) by either riding the road, or Sausage Link. If riding in reverse take Midland Bike Trail to the junction with Bacon Bits & Unchained.

Enjoy this fun & flowy rolling trail as well as views of Mt. Princeton & the Sawatch Range. The trail terminates on Midland Bike Trail. Continue across to Unchained if you're looking for some technical riding, or head right onto Midland Bike Trail for an easier pedal back towards CR304.

Fun. Trying a bit too hard to eek out extra mileage from gentle terrain. Not nearly as good as sausage link.
