Great trail, lots of fun, took the dog, rather narrow at times but wasn't bad because not too many people. plenty of trees and terrain of varying difficulty.

Jerry is a moron who can't ride a trail. This is a fun trail any way you ride. Go out and have fun folks.

Hey pal "Hey jerry people can ride anyway they want to. Even the barney's in the world. Don't worry about his 35 pound bike. Shut up and ride. It is people like you that complain about other bikers, and cannot ride themselves. Anyway this is a good ride for people that don't complain. No matter which way you ride the trail. I like riding it both ways". Any time you want to put your money where your mouth is you let me know!
