What a fun addition! Good to have a bit more climbing in town. Very fun and scenic. I liked east main before but this and further additions might make it a top local trail for me. It's well shaded and riding along the creek is nice. Good climbing and downhill with good flow. 

Don't know why people don't think a $40 parking pass isn't worth it for access to a great and improving trail system. Never mind the beer selection and all the other goods that come along with the USNWC. 

Thanks for the work Lee and crew. Can't wait to see what's to come!

That seems a bit long to me. I was thinking ~22.5

That new section is top notch, more of that please!

Green twice on a Saturday, that had to be interesting. I tend to skip the lake loop on weekends and leave it for the families.

Thought about later, my mileage includes some non trail in it. I started at the bathroom, rode across the lot to east main the back across the lot to the start of everything else, then when I finished up it includes the road down from green back to the bathroom. That could be a half mile of even more that's in my mileage and not in the others if you just tracked trail. I dunno, close enough!

Nice addition.

Anyone else notice the old deer stand out there?  Trail goes right by the tree it is in.  It is about 15 feet up and by the looks of it not used in a very ling time.

I used Starva and it said 18.5 miles doing all trails.   Seemed low to me.

Satellite measurements are always going to be short. They "ping" your device every X seconds and draw a strait line from point to point. This will cut off a lot of the trail.

Shearing the shaft member after a hard ride is acceptable in my book.

I rode the extension today and am happy to have it.  Now, I was caught off guard a liitle by the climbs and tight switchbacks along some of these.  It feels like a new mix for out there.  Obviously, all this gets easier with each ride since we come to know what lies ahead and can be ready.  Keep up the good work!  If you all can make rush hour traffic on I-485 between 160 and I-85 less of a pain in the ass, shift your focus to this.

Rode this for the first time today. It is an excellent addition and from one Trail builder to another excellent quality work!!! The machine cut partial bench was excellent and there are some great little natural doubles worked in there as well.

Yep the new addition is great.  With that and the slalom course and tower 93, it's slowly becoming my go to trail now.

Looking at the map - east section is after the lake loop i'm guessing, but slalom and tower 93, where dat? subsection of other listing?

East main:  Go to the big utility box at the corner of the parking lot furthest from the main visitor center.  Facing the woods, East is down the hill to your left before it turns right into the woods. On the map it is roughly in the area north and east of the Lake loop.

Tower 93:  There are two left hand options between the end of the Carpet and Goat hill.  One is the Wedge and the other is Tower 93.  I can't remember which comes first.

Slalom:  To your right down the power line cut after you exit the Toilet Bowel.  A new sign has been put up so it should be easy to find.
