Directions - From Davis, Continue on 32 south out of town, cross blue bridge and park on left..  Climb up rte 32 on your free ride bike and suffer for 1.8 miles, look for trailhead on right..

Description - Boney, knee shattering spinal taping rocky single track embedded with rhododendrons, roots and quick sand like mudd when its wet..  Some difficult downhill sections on lindy's run..  All in all the loop was good, but not great..  There is technical good and technical bad..  This place had a mix of both..  You will get sick of the rocks, they are annoying at times, much like American standard in PA..  I found this ride in Joe Surkiewicz book "mid atlantic states series...."  His book describes this ride... Technical difficulty: Beyond category - one of the hardest trails anywhere..   Well I guess he hasn't been too many places because I can think of like 65 rides that are more technical, and of course I don't ride that often..  Ok, my rant is done..  All in all a good ride, hard trails, very technical, but not much variety, not much free ride or fun factor, too much road riding before and after the trail..  I would go back to this area, but most likely check out the other trails..

Blackwater bikes is right in town on rte 32..  They were very helpfull and seemed to have a good stock of parts you might need at days end..

FOOD:  OK the pizza place in davis was good..  The sawmill was good too..  The brewery in town was possibly the worst meal I have encountered!!  We had 2 drinks that were sooooo weak that I couldnt catch a buzz..  The smallest lamest appetizers that should have cost 99 cents not 5 dollars..  A salad full of wilted lettuce, a pastrami sandwich that had practically zero meat, lots of sour crout and cheese with some earthy crunchy but 3 day old nut bread..  Bad service, but with a smile of course..  Just bring your own food and drinks..
