Which would you choose to ride for the day in the catskills and why?
Their Enduro was my favorite race I did last year. I keep saying I need to get back just to ride. The waterfall right up the hill from Reidlebaur's feels amazing after an epic ride.Decided to do round top the Enduro course was all marked out so i did the whole course. Wow this place is awesome better than anything I've ridden in nj by far. I am totally spent though today was the first time I've ridden in 2 months since I broke my arm. 14.23 Miles and 1795 elevation gain wish I was i had been riding all summer had to do way more hike a bike than I would have liked on some of the washed out fire roads. So much varied terrain here lots and lots of you better not fall here spots!
I had a great ride there a few weeks back and found it to be surprisingly superior to Elm Ridge. I rode the ebike as i somehow lost the battery for the der on my acoustic/analog bike.

In my current fitness level an ebike would have been awesome to have here. My quads have lost enough muscle that my knee pads kept falling down.... lameI had a great ride there a few weeks back and found it to be surprisingly superior to Elm Ridge.

I'll say that it's a super place to ride ebikes.
Do both! Ride Elm Ridge, then have lunch at Riedlbaur's, then ride Round Top, and then hit the beer garden.
They are both fun, but Elm Ridge is significantly easier to navigate.
Definitely...and brats. Really neat place, great riding and awesome beer garden after...win winI happen to just come across Riedlbaur's when looking up some trails in the Catskills -- so funny to see it mentioned here less than a week later! Good food and beer, I assume??

I didn't stay at the resort but this is where I parked both times I've been there. The enduro route started and ended back at their property, and maybe I was just hungry, but that was the best bratwurst I've ever had. The entire area is scenic and the trails are amazing. Waterfalls, scenic overlooks, flow trails, tech trails, drops, jumps.... seriously the best riding I did last year.I happen to just come across Riedlbaur's when looking up some trails in the Catskills -- so funny to see it mentioned here less than a week later!

Stage 1and 5 from this year's Enduro course were my favorite do t know the actual trails they were though but the course is on trial forksGoing to be up there next weekend, hope to finally rode both elm ridge and round top. Any must ride trail recommendations would be appreciated.
