Local bike safety rules and regulations
Ridgeline is a crown jewel of Dupont State Recreational Forest. Probably not best to ride. Amazing views of Castle valley are afforded after 50 meters of riding. Very loose and dry. Few sections rutted out but great experience for my first ride there!
The flowiest trails of the mountain! There are actually three trails which make up the loop: Horse Creek-Cattle Creek-Lower Twin Lake. Hymasa is a bit easier, so if you are unsure of your skill, start there, and then climb back up Hymasa to do Captain Ahab. The exposed rock section near the bottom is a highlight of the trail giving the exposed granite slabs of Squamish a run for their money. Fun!
What to Wear During a Bike Ride
One of the best downhills in the area. Winding trail with dips, climbs and descents. Awesome with a couple really dry spots in corners. Brief passing showers are keeping it wet but the sun and wind are trying. From here the trail narrows and skirts a rocky hillside.
Tips for Bike Care
Some of the densely covered trails are damp, but still rideable. There was enough rain to saturate the dust. This is a fun flowy trail! It has a number of blind LH corners so whistle or use a bell so you can alert anyone coming the opposite way. Out here you will find the most legal features including log rides, jumps and rock rolls in South Tahoe including the new jumps, berms, rollers and hips TAMBA and SBTS built in 2014.
Built specifically for mountain bikes, a flow trail emphasizes speed and rhythm, featuring berms, rollers, jumps and other features that are designed in a way that uses the rider’s momentum to minimize pedaling and braking (think downhill pump track). This trail is known for its flow. Having gotten that out of the way, the Mana Road ride is absolutely beautiful and worth the ride. While it has no real technical features to speak of since being redesigned, it is a lot of fun to ride this glassy smooth and generally well-bermed trail. Be careful of the rock stairs relatively close to the top of this portion; too much speed could doom your descent on these.
