I ride hickory quite a bit, its basically my backyard. Pete, you missed most of the trails there by crossing the field, there is a decent loop that goes right around both fields and brings you back down to the golf cart path. if you park at the park and ride you can get your legs warmed up climbing the road. On the map below, park at red arrow, climb the road toward the golf course and bear right where I have the red line(not sure why this road does not show on the map) The red line is a road that forks, one way up and down, when it comes back together the trail head is on the left side and pretty obvious(marked in yellow) you can pretty much find the entire loop by following along from this point and avoiding any forks that are not traveled. You can also park at the blue arrow but its best to get your legs warmed up coming from the parking lot, the park has quite a bit of climbing. I can show you the whole loop if interested. its only about 8 miles of trail total but the first climb out from the parking lot is about 450ft of elevation gain in the first mile and is a leg burner
