Description: The first of many mountain bike trails around the French Lick Resort is now open. The trail is named Buffalo Trace due to the Buffalo Trace that ran through the property. It's a 6+ mile trail that climbs to the top of the West Side of Mt Airie. With more elevation than Hesitation Point, Alex Stewart built a trail with his signature flow. The tread is easy, and the grades are kept at 5%, so beginner riders will be at home. Advanced riders will finish the climb a bit faster. When they open up on the descent, they will find Alex's rewards for speed.

This is a sweet little trail and a lot of fun to ride. It is a nice area and easy to access. Park by the golf clubhouse and take the cart path to the second red covered bridge and you will be there. Well worth your time.

Rode both loops twice today. Saw more deer than people (7 compared to 4) on what was a beautiful day. Wonderful terrain to ride and a variety of forest cover to traverse from streambeds full of moss and ferns to high, dry ridges with mature pines. Blue trail is definitely intermidiate with some advanced areas. Green trail is solid intermediate. Go clockwise from the start if you want to enjoy a great downhill.

I rode this the weekend of 11-12-10. THe short loop was a lot of fun. I did the loop both ways. If you go to the right as you enter it is a constant climb that gives some good cardio. If you want a super fun decend start off going left. The climb is not that hard but it is long and steady.

This trail had tremendous flow, nice elevation change and ample boulders/rock gardens. This is fast single track that has been designed and built very well.
