Pocahontas State Park Mountain Bike Ride

Saturday 6/01/2013

I had three attendees and we had a great day to ride. We met at the parking lot near Ledo Pizza and then drove to the parking lot near the Science Center, Pocahontas State park and biked up the fire road which leads you to the trail head. The conditions were a perfect and the trails were in excellent shape.

At the trail head you have three choices, green (easy) about 2.1 miles; blue (intermediate) about 4.7 miles, and red (advanced) 2.6 miles. We chose the green trail which was a great balance of moderate twists and turns, bridges, fairly steep downhills, and a few exposed roots. The ride took about 45 minutes.

We did have one of the riders take a spill (no names will be mentioned to protect the guilty!!!) but no one got hurt and it was a fairly easy ride for a warm June morning.

About this event

; First ride will be 1 hour or less or about 2.0 miles. If all agree, we can continue on the Red Trail which is another 2.6 miles or another hour.

I have an extra Mountain Bike, so no excuses for not trying out this trail!

A nice bike ride which will challenge you without making you wish you stayed home! There are lots of great mountain biking trails in Pocahontas but we'll go on the easiest "green" trail with enough downhill to make up for some of the uphills.
