Trail Description:
These trails are on the property of the company that makes Thomson posts and stems.

trails are several shortish loops with some steep but short climbs and some nice runs around in the woods. Some sections can be moderately technical, with lots of roots and several log crossings. There are a couple bridged creek crossings and some nice tight twisties. Watch out for the sand patches. Pick one of several loops and have a good time. There are currently trails being built and just enough traffic to keep the trails packed down.worth riding, convenient, and a little more rugged than the local average.

How to get there:
from Macon, take GA HWY 247 south to HWy 41 south (Industrial Pkway). Go about 1/2 mile past the railroad tracks and follow the green industrial park signs (on the left)to L.H.Thomson. Park at the right rear of the parking lot. The trail starts at the gap in the chain link.

Additional Notes:
To ride you must sign the waiver in the front office of the company. Check with receptionist.

Awesome trail. Rode it twice this weekend and it was very enjoyable. It is well marked, lots of hills and provides a good challenge. I would recomend this trail to anyone.

Excellent trail to hone your tech skills.Seemed like miles of twists and roots.Not much room to open up until the pay off toward the end.Nice down hill with two great dips to leap out.Dont bring your rigid here.

I enjoyed the seesaw and the tight twists in your trail. Also thanks for the tour.

Once I found the company, the drive was well worth it. It is located only 10 miles from Robins AFB. It took me a little over an hour to complete with several rest breaks. Definately not for beginners but if you have good hand eye coordination, you will be fine. Lots of up/down hills. Lots of roots, creek beds and bridges! A few jumps and whoops along with a nice teeter-totter. I plan on going back asap!!
