Basically you climb up and do the swimming pool loop it pretty much parallels South Ridge Drive, then cross Babcock at West Ridge Road and take the Koto Buki trail back down to where you began. If you get another chance at it the swimming pool loop makes a great starting point. Also the skills park and the free ride trail is up there and worth at least taking a look at. Glad to hear you had fun!David Sopkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803607501879631372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864174327406288240.post-68184372379712003472011-09-27T21:16:18.962-04:002011-09-27T21:16:18.962-04:00Shred, hit this trail over the weekend.

How much did I miss?

A buddy and I finally found all of the sections and have been having so much fun. The only negative part of it is now I really want to buy a new bike. Again thanks for documenting the trail and keep on riding!Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864174327406288240.post-75498917440973256382010-07-28T10:50:00.726-04:002010-07-28T10:50:00.726-04:00Go for it!

That was on my Gary Fisher HiFi 29er (Full suspension cross country bike). I think I could have gotten up the climbs a lot faster on a hard tail, especially the short ones, I hit them pretty hard and I could have done without all the rear suspension power suck. I'd have to say a hard tail 26" is the better bike in North Park. Theres a lot of fast tight turns and navigating with those big wheels slows me down.David Sopkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803607501879631372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864174327406288240.post-89147140916027826992010-07-27T21:53:46.055-04:002010-07-27T21:53:46.055-04:00We're gonna trying to dominate this tomorrow o...We're gonna trying to dominate this tomorrow on Hardtails.
