Mountain Bike

Sometimes you are traveling with kids or neophyte mountain bikers and are wondering where to take them. The following route describes a fun and fairly easy practice trail. Can't really say it's for beginners - they probably belong in the middle of a grassy football field. But, this should be a fun loop for lower intermediate mountain bikers.It's a 2.5 mile loop that includes Dawa Trail, AZ Cyprus Trail and the OK Trail.These instructions assume a counterclockwise loop.Follow the Dawa Trail. It will intersect Cockscomb at mile .92. Turn left for a few yards on Cockscomb then continue on Dawa Trail.At mile 1.7 you will intersect AZ Cyprus Trail. Turn left.At mile 2.17 turn left onto the OK Trail.At mile 2.42 you complete the loop and intersect the Dawa Trail.At mile 2.51 you should be back at the start. Courtesy of Singletracks.com

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
