Which trails near Fisher West and South Fisher Creek staging areas are more challenging and which are less challenging?
I'll be riding with another person with similar abilities - advanced rookies (or intermediate wanabes).

First Ridge Loop at Barwell is quite easy- bit of a challenge at the top of the switchbacks to get up there, but very nice, short loop and you can do it a few times in a row to practice some skills!

The Trail Management Object (TMO) for that trail would be to leave a big log crossing for others to enjoy.Hooligan wrote:Yep, there is a big log crossing I have been meaning to get to on the First Ridge trail.cycleworks wrote:First Ridge Loop at Barwell is quite easy- bit of a challenge at the top of the switchbacks to get up there, but very nice, short loop and you can do it a few times in a row to practice some skills!
Re: More and Less Challenging Trails
Agreed trails off the south staging area are to be left alone. Do not cut logs out making that area easier. Most of the trails from the south end are for intermediate riders and up let's leave it that way.

if you want more logs.... we can point you in the right direction...Hooligan wrote:Uhhh YEA, thats what I was talking about. Been meaning to give it a try rather than ride around it. Who said anything about cutting out a perfectly good log? To be honest I'd like to go cut down a few trees just so we can jump over the logs.dirtyboy wrote:The Trail Management Object (TMO) for that trail would be to leave a big log crossing for others to enjoy.Hooligan wrote:

Re: More and Less Challenging Trails
Stickler not so much but you will be challenged on Roller Bearing especially in the North bound direction. EnjoyHooligan wrote:Where?
We are working our way into Roller Bearing and Stickler which I understand are full of big logs.
