Directions - You can ride here from castle Craig or Hubbard park..   The parking spot on the east side of the jersey barriers is marked no parking, people seem to park on the side of the road up the street though..   (4 cars max) - to get to that area, take 691 west , exit 7 I think, lewis ave, its the mall exit.  Left at exit, left at SECOND light, right on 71..   Follow 71 for 1.1 miles and take the left forkish turn, drive another 500 feet and take a left.   Follow this road to end and park wherever you can..  

Description -  Some cool Boney trails here similar to adjacent castle craig and boneyard rides..   Trails here are not ridden or used so much.  The red loop was kind of hard to follow in spots, and had some hike a bike..   You can ride it out and back or take some roads to get back to the car..  Blue trail is well marked but as you go north its a little delapadated, abandoned bushwacky, but still followable..

Pre-ride Music:
