Main Side
The main side is marked into three loops. The
green (shorter) loop
and the red (longer) loop. If you ride the red loop, there's also a loop off of
that section which is the blue
loop extension. The blue loop has the most
technical sections of the main side.
The trail can be ridden both directions. However, most people ride
counter-clockwise when trail use is heavy (weekends, etc).
Games Side
The games side is the orange
loop that encircles a large clay pit area known as "The Playground". The
trail is relatively short compared to the main side as it is still being
reclaimed after the hurricanes. The trail is also not as well marked as
the main side. If you are not familiar with the orange loop, it is
recommended that you join one of the local group rides to ride with the
group. Maps of
the trail are only available on the PORC Member's Only Forum.
The old clay pit, which has been there since the 1950's, is also a
favorite spot of area free-riders and offers some interesting &
challenging terrain.
Parking
The best place to park to access all of the trails is at the Pate
Trailhead
(see
map).
Note that this is a private road, so try not to ride your bike on the road
(otherwise the
security folks may hassle you).
