1		Pumping Station in Augusta, Georgia This trail is unbelievable. It is some of the smoothest, tightest, fastest singletrack I have ever been on. There are two trails here - the red and the white. If you go out on the red, you will return on the white and vice vers...

1		Morningside Nature Preserve in Atlanta, Georgia Well built trail with surprising elevation changes. Professional and sustainable design make these trails fast, too bad there's really less than a mile here. Watch for hikers and dog walkers as well, this is a popular neighborhood...
1		Joe's Ridge in Fruita, Colorado Smooth and often challenging singletrack that climbs up to the ridge and the skirts along the top of the ridge with some cool views and steep descents. A thrilling ride anytime, but icing on the cake when ridden in conjunction wit...

1		Land Between the Lakes in Golden Pond, Kentucky I did not really care for Energy Lake, which is gravel roads mostly. Jenny Ridge is a lot of fun. Some really great singletrack which is technical, and you can't beat the view. Most of the trail (which is about 12 miles) runs alon...
