Dropbar
Development Route / by Captain ‘O’
|
A ride that strings together some of the best drop-bar-gravel-riding mountain bike trails in the area. The Mrazek section is a “frickin” fabulous flowy downhill.
Recommended spring through late fall. This route is not subject to extreme moon dust like some of other mountain bike trails in the dead of summer.
Once we have a chance to document the route with pictures, it will be listed as a 5 Star Route. Currently, we have it listed as a Training Route. We have ridden this route several times.
