Little River Regional Park

I went for a ride today at Little River Regional Park. This was the second time I have been to these trails as they only opened about a month ago. I followed some directions to the trail which I had gotten online and it took me almost an hour to reach the park. I found a quicker way home though so future trips should not be such a hassle. When I finally arrived at the park I was joined by most of the same people as yesterday clubjuggler, jpportz, thebroomecloset, overclokd, and me_not_you. We did the beginning of the easy loop and when we got to the split between the easy and the hard loop overclokd and me_not_you split off to do laps on the easy loop while the rest of us went off to the hard loop. The first part of the hard loop contains several large logs which necessitated hopping off the bike and carrying over. The second part of the loop has less logs but several steep hills and interesting rock gardens. With the trail still only a month old the ground was still a bit soft. Between the soft ground and having ridden the past two days my legs were feeling a bit tired when we got to this part. Along the way on the second part of the hard loop there were a few side trails with some stunts built and we took a quick detour while thebroomecloset and clubjuggler tried them out. Once we returned to the cars we found overclokd and me_not_you waiting. For the most part they had a good ride, doing several laps on the easier loop. overclokd did a face-plant, while trying to ride one of the skinnies, but she was still in good spirits. Overall it was a good ride and these trails should be even more fun once the ground firms up.
