Description: This loop is well marked and the fine people of COMBO deserve the credit for a wonderful technical challenge. It is clear that some of the MTB riders in this area take their trail riding seriously. This is a narrow singletrack with technical sections throughout. Not a sleeper, since most of the track is on the side slope and the dirt is fast and loose. The trail also features some sweet man made obstacles and bridges. Not for the newbie but a confident rider should attempt these obstacles with due respect of course. The trail is relatively flat with little climbing and little downhills, although the track was nice and fast in spots. COMBO deserves much Kudos on this wonderful track. Please do not ride this or Phase I when the trail is closed due to weather. You can meet the folks at combo at : www.mtbohio.org ..... Oh ... why a 9 and not a 10? well ... a hill or 2 would be nicer ... this is one of the best in Ohio!

more tech. than p1 liked the skinnie bridges and logs to ride just a great trail to ride.

Definitely a great trail and an asset to Central Ohio riders. There are some flat out scary "you can't be serious!" kind of features here. I have accrued more injuries on p2 and p1 than anywhere else. These trails need to be ridden with focus and caution, not for fast cruising. Go early in the morning (like 6am) to avoid the scowling "competetive" riders.* Review edited 7/12/2011

rode trail 10/28/10 great trail. log skinnies to ride were great. even one over a small ravine that is 5 to 6 ft. high and 30-40ft. long to test your nerves. alot of narrow bridges to cross. no big hills just pure sweet singletrack to hammer on, gotta love that!!! hats off to comba!! you have to ride alum creek phase 2 its a must ride trail.

This trail is FUN~~ Do Phase I first, then drive over to Phase II and go nuts. Some of the skinny bridges creep up on the tight turns. Go FAST!!

We went up from Cincinnati and had a blast here. Did the entire system in a morning....not to tough, but MANY MANY bridges.

Sweet trail. Quite a few of man made bridges and obstacles for you to play with. Pretty fast trail. A few small climbs to have a good work out. Definitely come out and check this out!
