You know. Normally I am a technical singletrack buff... that is what I focus on riding 75% of the time, but really nothng compares to a good fast and smooth but very curvy singletrack through the woods. Yesterday's ride was all razor thin trail, all curvy, fast and smooth... just a frikkin blast!!!!

 

[SkaredShtles]

There's more of that out here than you can shake a stick at. Luckily, the trails are almost always a combo of the sweet, skinny, curvy Star Wars track and the techie rock-garden/water-bar drop trail.

I concur.

We normally ride big stuff with lots of climbing and rocks and try to finish up with a nice long tech descent.

Only recently we made our way over to one the local parks that we've avoided for years due to our understanding of it being an 'easy' place to ride. It's an ~10 mile loop of fast, rolly, twisty singlestrack pretty much the whole way. You can spin out loops in under an hour and do as many as you want. The place is just plain fun and they're starting to incorporate small bumps and ttfs to get more people there.

That's what makes the Kingdom Trails so different compared to most of the stuff around where I am. So much fun!!!

the kingdom is sweet like that!

we have a bunch of different places to ride that all offer sections of fast swooping single track, that back it up with a climb and a bunch of logs to cross. It makes for a great all around work out!

Curvy, Fast & Flowy

Yeah! That's how it feels sometimes on the trails around here:

Rosaryville by chance? I ride there all the time. I love it and the faster you can ride the better it gets. It's basically one long pump track. I just wish it had berms.

I just got back from crested butte. The Doctors Park trail has one of the longest smoothist, swoopy, rolling, turny single track i've ever ridden.

It feels a lot like this when I ride twisty curvy singletrack...

Sorry dude, "Star Wars" siingletrack was best summed up with N8's picture. Yours resembles the cops chasing us through downtown denver.

 

[hooples3]

I love the fast stuff too.. except I need to be in the mood for it. usually I prefer the more challenging stuff that gets your heart rate up in a different way... but I guess i'd take either one any day of the week

 

[urbaindk]

This thread inspired me. Last night I did some super-fast curvey single track. I was playing chase with newish monkey pirate28. It was real dry and loose and we were drifting through all the corners. I tried to stay about 2 wheel lengths back and just on the verge of out-of-control. You really get a sense of speed when you are following somebody so close. So fun.

You got it. That trail got cut NICE. Big props. I will definately help with trail maintainance / new construction there.

This rain should help tack stuff down there. Just wish it was easier for me to get across the bridge.

Yeah, I've done a few work days out there and plan to do a few more. This fall they are starting an interior loop that in principle should have a fair number of extra "features" similar to the log ride near the road crossing. Let's cross our fingers.

Yeah that bridge is the reason I've only been to 495 once. Riding just isn't enough incentive for me to head to NOVA from Naptown.

We rode over at turkey but put together a trail sequence that was all rollers and tight singletrack... Rode the race line from the recent race that is East of the upper lot, took it around and back to the beginning of the snake then we took the mystery trail back out... which obviouslty was a lot of nasty rocky climbing. It was one of the better rides I have had over at Turkey in a long time.

 

[Cooter Brown]

cool

yeah, the snake line down to the pepsi plant is a really fun flowy line, I have thought about making off shoots of the trail that have some kickers or stunts going down that way, ending at the rock drop by the pepsi plant and shuttling back to the top

 

[TreeSaw]

Definitely!

That stunt area down toward the bottom is insane now... great area for it though.
I dont have the gear or balls (for that matter) to hit 80% of it.

 

[Cooter Brown]

yeah, it's pretty hairy some of it. Actually the roller coaster is really easy and has a drop off ramp at the end of it where you can roll back down to the ground. Just getting used to being 12' in the air on your bike is the thing.
