Red
I always enjoy riding up Red past the Arduum turnoff and up R . at the fork till you come to the highest section of the trail.
Here Crazy8starts on the right hand side.
Entering this windy trail ,it's a tough xc climb but doable,climbing till one particaularly hard rock section .
At the top it starts down ,always winding ,(those crazy's with 31 inch bars
will not be impressed) I run 28's and find it ok.
At the bottom you come out to double track.( the trail continues across the rd. but it's not that good and needs serious work.)
take my advice and turn L which is N. and climb back up a short ways and you come back onto the fork ,turn L and climb back up past ,quickly you are past the Crazy8turn and are now on BigRed (the old XC race course) down,till finally across a 20 ft. bridge the trail becomes the BetterRed,down
and then up and down till exiting onto a rocky section of double track.
Go R. and R up a short ways and you enter REDRider on the L .
Down RedRider quite a ways till finally up,as you start a XC climb for guys and gals with big lungs(it's tough unless your in great shape)
you climb till finally coming across a junction ( clearly marked) straight takes you to the rd. R takes you onto MOmentum , up down up down,
pant ,pant. the down can be steep ,but very fun.
over countless bridges till finally exiting onto a new gravel doubletrack,you are very close to the end now.
a couple of entrances takes you to the entrance climb which exits across from Millpond.
The map should help explain this better.
This is one of my favorite rides on Red,there are others so go explore,you really can't go wrong.
