This is a good beginner trail in a beautiful hardwood forest that tracks the contour of the hills.

+1 on the Guardian. For the price point, it is spec'd out as a very nice 29er. Check it out: http://www.airbornebicycles.com/product ... -29er.aspx Welcome to singletracks!

Thanks Matt!! I figured the drivetrain would be an issue, but just not certain of how long it could take to wear a bicycle chain and sprockets out. I'm going to check into that bike now as well. Thanks! I feel like...

Greg, Great video blurb on riding in the Washington Basin area. Also great riding in the Lemhi Range, Salmon River Mountain Range, Beaverhead Range, and many other Idaho mtn ranges. As they say, so many trails, so little time.

RoadWarrior replied to Re: Any recommendations for the Berryman Trail ??? on the forums
GPS tend to calculate every bump in the trail as an elevation change, so probally not. If you are doing 28 milers out in Colorado you won't have any problem. Heat, and hummidy will be your biggest concern. If it's...

getting to the place isn't hard because they have a MTB sign on the side of the road where you turn to climb a crazy hill. you'll either hike the bike or granny it up on your lowest gear. once you get to the parking area you'll go through green pilons which has a very stupid steep grade which will feel like you're lungs are ganna explode. you'll either hike the bike up or granny it up while zig zagging you're way up. after a while it'll become gravel but once you get to the top is a nice overview. after that is where the trial starts. its all single track through the whole thing. you gatta watch out and moderate your speed because theres a lot of korean people that like to go hiking there and also like to bring their children along. theres just as much as hike a bike as there are decents. some areas gets really tricky so take you're time. the trail over all is really fun and challenging, i'd only recommend those who are really in good shape, especially when doing this is the summer

euphoria01 reviewed Ddc Stadium Network
nothing hard about this one, its a nice single track behind the stadium and you can easily get to it behind hovey gate. you'll see the MTB sign so just follow that. you'll ride along side the outer walls of hovey for a little then you'll hit a left and ride through the farm and bike your way up the steep hill (up the mountain) til you get to the other side and you'll be placed right behind the stadium. from there, chose any trail you want.

this trial is nice to do in the weekend. the initial climb to the trial system is all gravel and you'll have to pedel you're way up to the mountain. once you get to the top theres a small gazel where you can rest for a bit and take pictures overseeing the city. from there is a nice cruise with small ups and downs as well as some challenging short climbs. its all single track. its nice for beginners to learn to ride as it has a nice variety of decents, dirts, gravel and rock gardens. the trial overall gotten hit little bad from the past winter and theres lots of water runways which eroded the trial but its still ridable. my favorite technicle spot is riding through the rock garden with small drops in them as well at the end becuase the trial will open up and you can ride pretty fast through it. you'll wanna be careful halfway through the trial becuase the ROK army has made a bunker in the middle of the trial so dont do what i did and eat it hard in the dirt ^.^
