| Yeah, on Saturday I ran 41, 26, 44, 49 & 6. I would have ran 43 & 42 also but I was trying to find the guys I got separated from at the events and I knew they wouldn't ride those. All those trails are really nice. If you didn't run 6 you missed a good one. Most of it is up hill with a lot of turns and water brakes and a lot of it stays wet. | |

| I rode 49 on Saturday, it is one of my favorites, i would say after the winter, it will be a well "seasoned" trail.... The 40 series trails are awesome. | |

| And we have Rooster to thank for building some of those! And he isn't through yet, there will be more to come. I think it is good that they hired someone for that job that actually rides and understands what most of us want in a trail system. | |

| You guys are welcome.
I took my wife on Trail 49 yesterday in the Rhino. Surprised at how wet it was after just a little bit of rain on Friday. Headed down the Mountain towards G17, and just after that wild Switch Turn heading down hill, it was slick as a greased train rail. Rear End slide out and I did a Down Hill 360. Wife had no Idea how bad it could have been. Afterwards, she said, maybe I should have had my seatbelt on. I reached for the glove box for the toilet paper. She said you got to go to the bathroom. I said no, I need to wipe. Had a good day tho. |

| You guys need to remember to run trail 6, it is really fun too! When you come to the end of 49 turn left and go till it ends up at G6. Turn right and go until I think you cross the second bridge the look on your right. It won't be far past that bridge you will see trail 6. About half way out trail 6 you will cross a gravel road. Trail 6 will end on trail 49 about half way or so. You can then turn left and run that part of 49 back to the start. | |

| Well i went down trail 49 with the intention of coming back up trail 6, but when i got onto g17 i went to the end at the pumping station so i turned around and went back to the first left and went up that way. Let me tell you that was a very good hillclimb it came out onto g6 pretty close to where 42 turns off. | |

If you came out on g17 and turned right the next trail on your right is 6 (the other half of trail 6 is also on your left) if you take it you will come back out on 49 not 42. | |

If you came out on g17 and turned right the next trail on your right is 6 (the other half of trail 6 is also on your left) if you take it you will come back out on 49 not 42. Sounds like he followed G-17 all the way down to 116. | |

| After reading all that, now I am confused. I will be putting a sign up at G6 very soon. I could not get a Yellow Marker in the ground so I have to take the Gas Powered Hole Driller and put a post in.
If you all know where G39/G6 is then you can get to 6 real easy. Coming from the Parking Lot The Bridge is just a before you get to G39. Before you cross the bridge look left for a gravel trail. Ride that in a short ways and you will see the Yellow Marker for T6.
I good loop so you get to ride all of the new trails would be, G6 - Left 42 - Right 49 - Left on 48. After the wild hill climb I have made a nice scenic overlook. It is called Knob Overlook and is self explanatory. Continue on 48 to end. Turn Right at end on T42 and follow it down hill. You will come to T49. Left on T49 and ride it all the way out to G17. Left on G17 a couple of miles you will come to G6. Right on G6, passing G39 , next Bridge look right for Gravel Trail which is T6. Take T6 all the way back to T49. Left on T49 and ride T49 all the way back to T42.
To me T6 is alot more fun going uphill this way than down hill. It has several steep spots and some really interesting switch backs on the upper part. God I love my job. |

| Rooster all that sounds great. I think that the trail that i went up off G17 was an older trail that had not been traveled much lately . If ya'll go all the way out t49 all the way to g17 turn left go till you see hwy116 turn right and run gravel next to hwy 116 go almost all the way to the end of g17 right before the end of g17 it makes a hard left this is where i went straight right there this will take you up and out to g6,then turn right on g6 and 42 is just down on left.This way is a pretty good climb. | |

Ok, I am confused. You said "If ya'll go all the way out t49 all the way to g17 turn left go till you see hwy116 turn right and run gravel next to hwy 116 go almost all the way to the end of g17" If you turn left on g17 and go to that end of it you will come out on G6 right across the road (hwy 116) from the grave yard. If you turn right you are on G6 which does run beside 116 for a piece. | |

| Ok now that i have the map in front of me, i went down t49 to g17 turned left went to hwy116 turn right to follow gravel road to g21 and went up g21almost to the end and went up an old trail that took me up to g6 right by where t42 meets g6. Maybe now you can see where i went it was a long climb there. Sorry for the confusion. | |

| RzRRider1,
I got you now. That is not a Trail. It is a Gas Pipeline. It has a steep area that was rutted real bad last winter. That is why it is not maintained because it is a PipeLine. Were there any Yellow Signs on it saying it was a PipeLine? I think at the Top by G6/T42 there is a Yellow Pipe Cage around the Pig Launcher.
