Review: Ran the trail from the bridge at hwy 40 to Boyd Gap out and back. All in 13.4 miles. Great running trail, rolling hills, bikers must love it. Fast, smooth, flows well. I'll definitely come back for another time thru.

Review: With only about 250 feet of overall elevation gain in one direction, this in and out trail is like riding a bullet train if you've got the legs and lungs to keep you going. There are however a few things to keep an eye out for: 1) blind corners: it is commonplace to come into view of oncoming traffic with less than 15 feet between you. 2) thorns: with the encroaching vines so close to the trail, thorns are draped across throughout the entirety of the trail. I've racked up a ton of flats. 3) wet foot bridges: don't hit the bridges at anything faster than a walking pace when its wet. Tons of slimy mildew ensures an exciting time. 4) off-camber turns: there's a couple of turns at the end of blazingly fast sections that will spit you out into the great wide open. Enjoy the ride, but be safe!

Review: Fun intermediate ride doing an out and back either from the 64 bridge kiosk or parking at the Boyd Gap lookout. Be aware of other riders on blind corners.

Review: This trail is a blast, you can haul a** the entire length of it. Lots of blind corners though so watch out for other riders. If you start at the highway 64 bridge and ride to boyd gap, you can hook up with the Tanasi system and get some serious miles in.

Review: This trail is fun but nothing special. Wasn't really worth the hour drive it took to get there. If you are going to drive all the way out here, only do this trail if you plan on doing Tanasi as well.

Review: This is one of the most fun trails I have ever ridden including trails in California and Utah. It is predominantly a middle ring peddling trail with great flow, beautiful scenery, enough rocks to keep it interesting, some fun air, great banked turns, plenty of shade and constant fun. The elevation change is manageable in either direction allowing you to really enjoy the trail without spending much time on the lower ring. It is listed a loop but it is really an out and back with 7 miles each direction. I left from the Boyd Gap trail head and rode the trail in under two hours including a good look at a momma black bear and her two cubs. If I lived in the area I would hit this trail again and again. It's that good.

Review: Easy, but oh so much fun! This trail had excellent flow, allowing you to just middle-ring it the whole time and rocket along! I'll definitely be back!

Review: Loved this trail the first time out! I had high expectations and Brush Creek didn't disappoint. This trail was my first with clipless pedals but was smooth and straightforward enough that I could ride confidently. Scenery changed often, as did riding conditions and terrain - kept things interesting.

Review: This is a great trail for riders of all levels. It is an out and back trail (about 6.5miles one way) and can be accessed from both ends. The Boyd gap parking lot is more popular because it starts off with some fast and flowing downhill. You can also start at the hwy 64 parking lot ride brush creek and continue to the tanasi trails for a good day of riding. This trail has no long climbs to speak of but will let you weave flowing singletrack thru the trees as fast as your legs can take you.

Review: Very fast and easy trail. I ride it as an out and back from Boyd Gap overlook. Group rides here almost every Tuesday night in the summer. Also can be tied into the Tanasi trail system for a total of 40 miles if you ride it all.

Review: Rode it today. I love it. I'm kind of new to the sport and this trail was right up my ally. Great downhill at the start with awesome switchbacks. easy climbs. nothing to get you hurt. Trail is very well maintained.
