Trail Review:
The MapIt! link allows you to open a GoogleMap to the trail you are viewing. Here you can get driving directions to or from the trail.
All trail lengths are listed in miles. A plus (+) sign denotes that the trail is actually more than the listed length. Most trails that are listed as having a configuration of out and back state one-way. In this case, riding the entire trail would be double the listed length.
How technical a trail is considered,
rated 1-5.
1 - Easy - Usually short distances and smooth surfaces (suitable
for novice riders, including kids). Typically crushed granite or paved
trails.
2 - Beginner - Possibly some rocks, winding sections, and some
elevation change. Generally, these are beginner-friendly for the most
part.
3 - Intermediate - Expect some or all of the following: rocks,
tight, twisting trail, steep ups and downs, drops/ledges, and climbing.
4 - Advanced - Expect more speed and/or technical riding in
the form of rocks and drops, longer climbs, fast downhills, and plenty
of opportunity for self-inflicted bodily and bike harm.
5 - Expert - use your imagination
The type of trail expected for
most of the ride. Categories include:
• Singletrack - Trail wide enough for only one person
or bike at a time. Varies from a couple inches to a couple feet in width.
• Doubletrack - Generally a pair of singletrack side-by-side
(such as the path worn by vehicle tires).
• Wide path - A non-paved path that is wide enough
for more than one person or bike at a time. Often mistakenly referred
to as doubletrack.
• Jeep trail - Similar to a ranch road but typically
more difficult to traverse. Usually requires a 4x4 vehicle (if you were
driving).
• Rails-to-Trails - Abandoned railways that have been
converted for use by those who enjoy hiking and/or biking. Often a wide
path.
• Paved path, ranch road, and beach - Self-explanatory.
This is the layout of the trail.
Trail configurations include:
• Loop or multiple loops - You start and end at the
same point.
• Out and back - Ride one way and then turn around
to return to the start.
• Figure 8 - Exactly as the name implies.
• Network - Generally consists of multiple trails in
various forms making up one trail system.
• Various or random - These trails don't fit precisely
in either of the first three categories, yet aren't really a network,
either.
