Description
Description - If your in the area this is a decent place to check out.. Starts with single track and immediately puts you in the BMX dirt jump area, then TWISTY singletrack, there are many trails, you may ride around in circles, we got lucky and didnt, found our way to a stream where we took a right and got on the ridge trail.. Keep following the map and you will eventually find some really nice short labeled loops with some trail enhancements.. Be carefull, some high bridges in here, super super fun stuff, something for everyone, 1 foot high to 12 foot nose bleeders.. Couple hucks, couple log rides, one see saw.. Good 2 hour ride if you hit everything.. Look for trails like Blair, radio flyer, Armageddon, super 8, my Bo jangles and more.. There is also aolt of riding that can be done on Vassar campus. Some trails above the lake and behind the golf course.

Review: ITS A GOOD FUN RIDE THERE ARE SOME small rocks around, there are alot of roots at some points and there are a few hills that are very steep and tough to climb and some nice steep downhill parts with roots and there is also a nice fire road if u just want a nice relaxing ride. and for those who don't know there are no ladder bridges they took all of it down.

Review: Please ride responsibly and do not create new trails/stunts at Vassar Farms - keep this trail open for future mountain bikers! Received via email: Vassar Farms is an ecological preserve. This land is kept as open space to provide community members the opportunity to learn about and interact with nature. In the past, bikers have been a welcome member of the community of users at the preserve. Recently, there has been an explosion in trail construction and excavation to create BMX bowls and jumps. This recent activity is environmentally harmful. It causes erosion, destroys vegetation, and can cause many other types of damage. This destruction threatens many uses of the farm. In addition to environmental concerns, we are concerned about the legal ramifications of having these extreme biking activities on Vassar property. The resulting explosion in use is threatening the mission of the preserve and the continuation mountain biking at the preserve. Thank you for your help.
