Great ride tonight. It was fun to get out to somewhere different. I was quite pleased with the layout and challenge of the new trail that's in the process of being cut. There were a few spots that could use some slight massaging and rerouting (IMHO), but over all it's good. We rode the new trail, marked by many red and orange flags, out a bit past the second power line crossing until we picked up what we assume is the hunting trail down to the fire road. The last section of the new trail before hitting the fire road has had pretty much no work done to it, so it's really more of bush whacking from flag to flag. The hunter trail was a little hard to follow at times, but we managed. We followed the fire road down to the water and checked out the fishing trail to runs along side it. The first part is very sketchy and mostly requires walking the bike. Chris insisted that it got better so we pressed on. I'm glad we did because we were rewarded with a pretty fun, flowy trail that we took all the way to the "Absolutely No Trespassing" sign. We turned around there and went back the way we came. The trails were a bit easier to follow on the way back. I didn't really pay close attention to the time, but I guess we rode for about 2 hours or so?
All in all a good ride, with some good challenges. I'll ride there again for sure and I can't wait to see it all where it's done. I'm gonna have to see if I can make one of the trail building sessions as it would be fun to contribute to the project.
