Description: Haven't ridden it yet, but hiked some of it. Looks like pretty fast singletrack with rocks in some areas. The initial hill is really steep and rocky, but after that it looks like a lot of fun and easy for a beginner. I'lltry and update once I ride it.

Did a ride here in late November. I hadn't been to Rock Bridge in a while. I was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed with this ride. The good part was riding the new singletrack on the north side of the park. This new tread corrected the layout issues of the old route and was a blast. The disappointment came after I crossed the creek to begin the climb toward the grassland area. The climb was severely rutted in places to the point where a reroute is probably necessary. Once past the grassland area I descended the trail to the lower parking lot and experienced extreme erosion issues on the rocky downhill trail also. These areas are in dire need of some trail TLC to provide better sustainablility.

Took my wife here yesterday. It was her first attemp at MTB. With a rented Trek 4500, she had no issues on this course. Great flowing trails with a tech spot here and there makes for a great beginner trail.

Rode this at a very slow pace to find the right lines for a race that wound up being cancelled due to rain. Overall, the trail was fun with some slightly technical areas but nothing that can't be ridden by the average rider. Would love to ride this area with a different agenda next time to enjoy the trail. I was riding a specific route and stopped several times to wait for the trail marking crew to make sure I was riding the correct way. Got caught in a pretty good down pour at the end of the ride. Rocks, Roots, creek crossing and fun.

Rock Bridge has a great mix of climbs and fast rolling flats. There are several spots to start your ride either at the elementary school (Top) or Devils Ice Box (Bottom). Either way you will have a good time, just stay on the outer perimeter trails and you will get a good taste of what the park has to offer. There are rolling hills in the back corner that lead to a fast river run. There are many combinations you can take on the Rock Bridge trail system. You will enjoy exploring the trails and finding what combination is best for you.

This is my home turf. Beautiful single track, not very technical, but you can find a few hills and obstacles if you know where to look.
Similar Trail: I ride in CO often. West Magnolia in Boulder comes to mind.

This was a pretty fast singletrack with rocks in a lot of areas. The initial hill is really steep and rocky, and in several other parts of the trail you will run into the same thing. The flat tracks in the middle are fast and fun, but it looks like they cut away several log jumps. If you don't like to climb and descend on rocks you won't like this trail.
