Anyone ever ride the Trails at Baxter Village in Fort Mill?    Any tips or tricks you can share would be appreciated.

I've ridden them a lot.

Best thing to do would be to go with the Tailwind Cycles group ride on Thursday nights ~6pm front the front door of their shop.

Here's a rough trail map for you:

A lot of side trails in there to confuse you.

If you can't wait for a group ride, then just go explore...

Does this have more climbing than RRT?

I used to ride; now I just drink and cry about not riding.

I've never been to RRT (soon!) so I can't comment on that one...

I can tell you I did a group ride w/the guys @ Tailwind about 2 years ago @ Baxter...it was a hot & humid day so I was blowin up which made the climbs seem that much tougher, but there are about 7 note-worthy climbs.  I'll go back for sure...

I live in Baxter now and have started riding a good bit in there.  Bring a weed whacker.  Some of them are quite overgrown.  Very up and down out there to in terms of elevation.

Riverwalk is another option just down the road.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.
