MOUNTAIN BIKING: Rock Creek / #175

Single Tracks →

Description

These trails are ORV double track, and yet they still are a pretty awesome <br />
ride on a mountain bike. From the parking lot, the trail is a loop with a big <br />
section of trail off of it that connects up to the "Tatum Lead" section of the <br />
Pinhoti trail: http://www.singletracks.com/bike-trails/tatum-lead-<br />
pinhoti.html . In addition, the actual Tatum Lead trail branches off of this <br />
loop as well.<br />
<br />
Descending from the Pinhoti, this trail was a totally bomber downhill! The <br />
top starts off pretty wide and not too steep, but there are numerous <br />
whoop-te-doos thrown in to keep the adrenaline pumping! Once you hit <br />
the main ORV loop (we turned right) the trail steepens and gets a whole lot <br />
gnarlier! Rocks are everywhere: big rocks, little rocks, loose baby-head <br />
rocks... definitely lots of loose baby heads. There are several large berms <br />
formed by motos along the way, and you rip down to the trailhead quickly <br />
loosing elevation like mad.<br />
<br />
In short: Bring your suspension, and dominate this downhill!
