Started laying out my mountain bike trails, now it's time to get them in the computer and start editing the topography to get the climbs/descends I want. I have 3 trails of various lengths (green, orange & purple) on both the beginner and advanced areas. The blue trail links the beginner area to the advanced area. This way all mountain bikers can start from the same spot (beginner trail head) and the more advanced guys can take the longer route to the back half of the site. All routes were designed in a way that you can continue riding loops without having to go all the way to the trail head and where trails seem to cross the actually go over/under eachother so that not to interfere with riders on that trail.
Started thinking about landscaping and tree locations. The 2 mountain bike areas I see has heavely trees with a void in the middle (crit course) to frame views of the building from I-40.
Great article! Awesome trail adventure. Loved this post and I’m definitely pinning it to share! Thanks for the great read and keep on posting.
