AKA Hero Dirt. Yes, your ideal conditions that you want to hit up first before any of your friends find out. Sure you want to keep it low key, but be a good trail steward and let your buddies know its time to shred.

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.

  • bewsurf22 June 8, 2018 at 7:11 amRiding 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.

    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
