Hi All

Jenny and I have been out of town a lot and neglecting our mountain bikes this summer.

This spring we did ride the new trail called '10 years gone'  and found it to be a fun trail as well as a somewhat more reasonable climb than what we find in many local areas.

We are also given to understand that the next section of the upper Jumpingpound trails has just been completed. This trail is called 'Trampled Under Foot'.  These two trails together form a new upper loop on Jumpingpound.

Between the two trails it is about 10km and a little under 300m of climbing. 

Thinking of returning on Jumpingpound south about 5km and 60m of climbing.

So sub 20km total distance (some connecty bits)

The trails are rated blue, but the folks who designed these trails worked hard to keep them accessible to less experienced single track riders, while still making them fun for those with more experience.

As mentioned, we have not been out a lot so will be keeping the pace down at a moderate (or less) level.

Snack on trail, there are nice tables at pinetop for a post ride bite.
