What I liked: Beginner to intermediate riding, great warm up trails for the season. I usually ride in the late spring to get used to being back in the saddle after the winter. Be prepared to get dirty in the spring due to the mud from spring rains.
What I disliked: Some areas are not rideable in the spring if we have alot of rain, and the thorns can be tough in some spots early in the season too.
