Freestone Ridge is popular with bikers and joggers because it is a nice option for mid-length rides and longer runs. It climbs from Military Reserve up to the middle foothills. As a downhill, it is scorching fast, with wide open sight lines. As an uphill, it feels like interval training, with steep scrambles followed by flatter plateaus. Often looped with Sidewinder.

Loose and sandy. Riding like late summer right now.
Riding fast, but loose in the corners and it has already started to dry out a bunch. Watch out for ruts due to the rain storms we have had. Can make riding fast precarious.
Riding so good after the little bit of rain we got.
Lower portion of the trail is in great condition, gets wet with snow patches around 4000′. Turned back at the flats prior to the climb to fat tire trail junction.
The top 1/3 has long stretches of snow, and the steep bit before Fat Tire is icy
Complete with all the usual ruts and one easily avoidable puddle. The lower half is excellent
Just the one puddle in the usual spot…get some!
Primo conditions with the exception of one puddle.
One small puddle is all
