well I don’t agree with that but that’s my opinion. You’re from Durham which has one of the most technical I’ve ridden-little river. Huge logs that require dismount , lots of rocks and one downhill that leads to a ramp/bridge that is just plain scary. I didn’t see any of this stuff(other that the downhill) at hobby. The downhill ride was cool and I can see a regular rider there just cruising through it since he knows whats coming up. I thought owl’s roost had more interesting obstacles and the view there was awesome. It’s cool how that trail is cut into the side of the banks of the lake. Hobby needed some maintenance.
nah just kidding. It is a really cool ride. But you’re right, the trail doesn’t flow that well when you’ve got so many HUGE logs to cross. I did a few, but they just kept coming and I had had enough.It slowed my ride each time I’ve got to clip out and then get the damn shoes back in and go another 20yrds and then there’s another one. Yea, the boardwalk with the hump is very cool. As is the narrow rail leading to it. Took several pictures. That track leading down the hill with the two big turns built with banks is also very cool. I took the trail from right to left and will try it the other way next time. I still am not good climbing over rocks and they have some pretty good rock beds out there. I can go downhill with no problem though so Little River is a good place to better my skills. I live in Apex and ride Harris alot which really isn’t that challenging so the Durham trail was a nice change. Heading back to the Roost next week. Love that trail.
looking back at the map there are several areas up there that I missed including Country Park. My brother lives right off Pisgah Church which is just a mile from Country Park so I plan on doing that next week if I can. I missed the inside track that doesn’t parallel the lake and plan on hitting that next time. I do wish they had it a little better marked out there so you can know where you’re going without a map. Is the roller coaster area on the lake trail or on another? It was just a cool trail that I really enjoyed more than any around Raleigh. I do like Beaver Dam alot and have yet to go up to Durham but will do so soon. Thanks for advice.
