Trail beta
Park at the large dirt lot off Harrison Rd and Irvington on the south side. Ride counterclockwise only. One-way system. Cactus Loop (~6 miles) is a good intro; full system is 16+ miles. Watch for quirky trail art: tombstones, witches in trees. Great morning session without shuttle logistics.
When to go
Best October through April. Mandatory counterclockwise direction.
