	Are there any maps of the trail? The 1 mile loop around the fields is pretty straight forward, but it would be great to know what else is out there.

	I'll let the trail coordinator chime in but I believe the rest is "Under Construction" at the moment.

	Clyde, thank you for your interest. That 1 mile loop is all that is open for now. However we are in the process of adding more trail that will be intermediate/advanced. We have trail work every other Saturday (the next one will be May 20th), you can come and work for a while and see all of the great things that will happen to this trail system. Go to the forums under Trail Work and you will see the trail work days posted in there! Luis

	Thanks. I will definitely keep an eye out and help when I can. I had thought this was an existing trail system (other than 1 mile loop) from some news articles back in the day.

The old trails are not rideable and they are overgrown, but will get there eventually.

	Newbie (club and forum) here. Rode the trail around the fields for the first time today and enjoyed it. Would welcome the opportunity to help you build out and/or maintain the trails here, will keep an eye out for work days.

	So I came to ask the same question. Got confused because there are clearly some other trails out there. This has a lot of potential. Phil

	1/2 of what you rode is illegal and on private property. It is going away by request and is being replaced by professionally built trail routed entirely on park land. Mileage should be about the same when it's finished. Quality will be much higher. And it will be legal! Come help us!

	Poked my nose over there and most of the it looked ok but several of the berms were pretty wet so I bypassed them. Second half of the trail - the new section was wet enough I didn't even try it. Would suggest another day of drying and you should be good to go but will defer to Luis.

	Trail was opened yesterday and it's really nice and tacky. Again, we only have a mile done out there with more to come soon!

	Who has access to the white board out there? I think it's said it's closed for a few weeks.

The trail is not closed, unless it rains and then you have to wait 24hrs to ride. Sadly we had some kids do vandalism and they shattered the plexiglass and drew male genitalia all around it. I'll erase the closed status. Please, if you see any act of vandalism call 911. This is Park and Rec property and it is punishable by law.

	I have read that the trail works were finished and there is more to ride, is there a starava or other map available as far as you know?

	There is another section that is apx 70% complete. Rides a lot like the new flow trails at Ann Springs. When finished it's going to be a VERY nice addition to what's there now. Don't think there are maps yet due to the work that still has to be done.
