Description: This network can be worked in many combinations, but I suggest catching the singletrack that swings SW around the nearest hill. Follow this around and pick up any one of the trails it branches into. Watch out for trailrunners and fellow bikers, some sharp turns can lead to disaster at high speeds. This trail can also be reached from the trailhead on Menaul.

The trail head can be found by riding east from the Indian School Rd parking lot. Some of the riding is in a dried out creek bed, which provides a sandy loose rock ride. The summer months can get hot; over 100 degrees. Ensure you bring extra tubes or have junk in skirted in your tires. Enjoy!

great workout trail. a lot of uphill for the cardio. can't really bomb down the best hill toward copper and u-mound due to too many hikers, joggers, dogs and fellow bikers.

Rode this trail on a rented hardtail from northern cyclery on menaul st. Scenery was awesome, some of the uphills were brutal, especially at 5900 ft elevation, decents were fast and fun, watch out for the cacti. They are abundant and no fun!

Nice spring ride, watch out for the Goatheads in autumn, winter. Slime your tubes. Nice trail for meeting the locals. Plenty of flowers, little shade.

A lot of erosion in the area from rains last summer. Very high traffic area! Lots of options available on which route to take, but no way to get lost as you can see Albuquerque the entire time.
