They've ruined what little good riding there is here - the top has been logged out, so the trail is covered with wood chips; the nice downhill by the western entrance has been turned into a fire road you could drive your car up; and they're setting fire to the open space this week.
Plus, the place is overrun with *ing dogs illegally off leash.
There is some okay singletrack in places, but this is definately not as good riding as Holt Hill, and waaay below what is at Harold Parker. If you do go, pick a quiet week day to avoid the dogs.
