This is called the Trestle Trail but it should be called the Whoop De Doo Trail. Whoop de doos or simply whoopers are undulating ups and downs in a trail. Common in motor cross and other off road race tracks, they are great fun. It you happen to have a motorcycle you can jump and bounce over them; seems like you are flying. On an leg powered mountain bike things get a bit tougher. You have to roll over most of them. Up and down, up and down. Sick sickness pills might help. You just don’t see too many of them on natural trails but for some reason this place has miles of them. Up and down, almost like you are on a boat in angry seas. Perhaps the ground is collapsing in places or is harder in certain spots. I’m not sure of the exact geological process that makes them but there sure are a lot of whoopers on this trail, and they seem to be getting more severe every time I ride here. Besides the whoops the trial has many other great features. Nice rocks, logs, water, hills and plenty of mud. Something for everyone. If you are a novice or want a nice mellow ride you can stay on the main trial and just relax. It’s pretty wide and safe. There is a skeleton bridge you have to get across but it’s not too bad. But if you want a real challenger you can go on one of the numerous side trails. Of course all the maps of the trials are virtually useless but I have heard from other bikers that you can go for days on these side trails. Deep, deep woods with no one else around. Of course we get lost every single time we come here but that’s half the fun. Extremely tough single track with every obstacle and nasty thing I have ever seen on a trail. A great place to test your bike, skill and possible the local emergency medical care. I have to give this mountain bike trail five big ones. It really does have it all. Wimp out and stay on the main trial or be adventurous and get lost on the bike devouring side trails. All the rocks, hills, mud and weird stuff you could ever want in a bike ride. Or just stay and play on the endless whoopers. The choice is up to you.
