I am 53 years old and in reasonable shape. I did the entire loop and was wasted by the end. Lots of short hills and narrow trails. Very challenging for me. I had to walk my bike up several of the hills. Lots of switchbacks...

The Blue Clay Road Trails are very technical and definitely worth a trip out. Some of the obstacles and stunts built into the track are very challenging and a lot of fun. This track is not for speed seekers. It is technical not fast. My only complaint is that the trail is not marked well and it is easy to become confused on which way to go to avoid backtracking or missing part of the trail. The trailhead is now well marked and there is a designated parking area set up for the park.

Although there is a strong mountain bike community in wilmington, this trail lacks a good design. 60% of the trail has absolutely no flow, while the other 40% is well made singletrack. The trail is in no way short on obstacles, which makes it a tiny bit more interesting.

This is as good as it gets on the Carolina coast. Fun singletrack.

Locals may get bored after 6 or 7 rides here. I was visiting in Wilmington with my brother and we both had our bikes. My brother knew of this place and it made our visit to Wilmington all the better. If you're passing through and have your bike, don't miss it. After you ride it, you'll know that lot's of hard work went into putting it together. My brother and I enjoyed it.

This trail is very nice and great for all levels. Kudos to SirBikesAlot (whom we met while there) for all the tips and the inside scoop on the track.. If your in the Wilmington area, this is a must ride track..

Blue Clay bike park has now added two more miles of single track for a total of 8 miles. Races are becoming more frequent and trails are constantly being improved making BC more and more challenging. There are trails for beginners and advanced riders at BC. Be sure to check out the dirt jumps, and the skinnies on the hilly side.

It is an aerobic workout, even for the beach. I ride here at least once a week and, even though it is only 6 miles long (more coming next winter) it feels like about 10 because of the twisty-turney-rooty-ness

Putting in perspective that you are at the beach, these trails are awesome and you can tell a lot of hard work went in to make them. These are a must ride if you are in the area!

this trail takes advantage of all the geogrophy on the propety. while there is not a lot of climbing, this trail is tight, twisty, rooty, and technical. there are some hills on this land and the trailmaster has done a good job making the best of what they have.the main loop is around 4+- miles, but it will beat you up and make it feel like 10 miles. the guys from the Sir-Bikes-a-Lot MTB group have done alot of work on these trails and now that summer is here the trails are in prime condition.check out www.sirbikesalot.com for ride reports work days and trail conditions.
