Description

Expert riders ONLY! Really test your riding skills like no other place in the Birmingham area.

Bring your big boy/girl pants as this is big rocks, tight chokes, obstacles and drops of up to 6 feet that will put your bike handling skills through the toughest of challenges.

Please use your best judgement when riding here. It is a completely optional route but one well worth exploring. Look for the split-rail fencing at each end.

Fallen Trees - As a first timer. I'd suggest marking the line better. It's very self interpretive and found it frustrating to search for flow. I'd recommend bypassing this and continue the big loop or have some real fun on thunder and lightening!

Big rock with big drops on Boulder Ridge.

Lots of technical riding on the Boulder Trail.
