I'm planning on heading to this area in the near future. I ride Six Mile religiously (within 2 minutes of my house) and Mercer every once and a while.
How are the trails compared to the ones I ride on a regular? Is there anything I should look out for, bring, etc?
Any input helps
Great park for improving technical skills and endurance. It gets slippery after a good rain but should be OK tomorrow.
If you park at Newman's lane, cross the street and ride blue section first, then cross back over and ride the red section. Take the red trail that follows the quarry, go throught the fence near the lake and follow to the road. Across the road, turn left and ride about 25 feet, and just past the guard rail there is a little trail that ducks in behind the road and takes you up a washed out climb on the Yellow section. Ride there, follow back to the parking lot near the ballfields, and cross the road again, this time turning right and making a left onto the trail that sits between two houses. This takes you into the white section. The white trails meet at a small brook at the base of a gravel paved path - follow the path over a concrete bridge and back to the Newman's lane lot.
Ever want a tour, let me know. Have fun.
