Road this trail for the first time yesterday and had a blast. I am just starting out and got a great workout and really enjoyed the challenge of the trail...tight turns, challenging downhills, lots of roots which make the trail a challenge. I really recommend trying the Westgate Park trail first if you are just starting out. I road the Westgate Trail twice (7 miles) and then this trail and was spent. Bring water with you because there are no fountains.* Review edited 7/18/2007

This is one of the only trails in the Dothan area-judging from the rolling terrain around Dothan, there should be more some available locations to build more trails. TSUD is an easy cross country trail with few technical features that winds between pine stands and oak scrubs. Pros: 1)Trail is close to Dothan and is easy to find, 2)trail drains and dries well, 3)there are a few easy ups and downs - switchbacks(see trail map) are configured uphill followed by a downhill. Cons: 1)Trail is somewhat rooty and it appears that water run-off is allowed to shed straight down the trail with few erosion controls in place, 2)there are no distinguishable trailmarkers or blazes which mark the trail-but it's easy to find your way, 3) it doesn't appear there is regular trail maintenance, 4) there were no trail maps in the posted "Maps" box. See photos: I stopped to take a pic of some little rollers, little did I know I had just passed a BIG rattler! He was completely still and watched me until I snapped the pic and then when I turned around, tore off into the woods. I had no idea he was there until I heard him moving...I looked at the picture I had taken and saw him in it on the bottom right- eerie! If I had stopped and put my foot down a second earlier than I did, it would've been a bad day for both of us!

Fun ride, several fast sections, a great trail for an evening ride.
