Mountain Biking The Sandpit

*****   Add a review
#6 of 122 mountain bike trails in Maine
#929 in the world

Few steep drops, rocks, roots, ledges... PLZ READ WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. There are a few ways to ride the trail. For starters you could take THE XC LOOP that runners from the school run on which takes you for a loop around the place. This loop is not single track it is about 6 ft wide and is relativity flat with few turns. There are lots of roots in the way but are marked with orange spray paint. There is one very steep part on this trail with a river at the bottom. Yes there is a bridge to go over but there is also a jump to gap the river. The OTHER MORE EXCITING SINGLE TRACK is a little hard to find but once your on it it will take you all through the woods and even under the bypass. DIRECTIONS TO SINGLE TRACK... As soon as you go through the stone blocs toy will ride down a small hill the single track is tucked into the bamboo on your left right before you cross the wooden plank. Hope you have fun.

Getting there
The primary entrence to the trail is on Weeks Rd off of 114. Once you turn onto Weeks Rd take a left on to Laurel Pines Dr, this is the big entrence to the school. Fallow the road to the stop sign and turn left almost immediately you will see a dirt area to your right with two stone blocks marking the trail. Feel free to park in the dirt area. ( the dirt area will be on Weeks Rd but the whole point of turning onto Laurel Pines Dr is that if you fallow Weeks Rd all the way around it might be hard to find the right spot if you have not been to the area). Hint... There should be a fenced in pond in front of the trail.
