First time here today, quite impressed! Some really fun sections, fantastic trail marking, and not a ton of people. Started with a lap of the green trail, then north on the orange (super techy and fun) and blue, with a detour to the west on yellow briefly. Returned on the west blue trail -> red trail. Fun descent on the red. Definitely need to explore more here, but a super fun maiden voyage for me!

A decent enough place to ride if you are local, I probably wouldn't make it a destination. Grego is spot on about the ridges and the Quarry. Stay away from the trails right by the east side of the pond, beat city. There's just about every color of trail marker in here, and they are well blazed. Still a lot of braids/phantom trails though.
I rode there a few summers ago. Very cool place. Like riding on moon rocks along the ridges there. The old Quarry was awesome! Been wanting to go back ever since, just a bit of a hike for me.
