I haven't done a ton of Lock 4 (hour drive for me), but it is also a very solid trail. Or I can come in closer to 90 minutes if I don't mind throwing up and passing out at the end. The complete loop with all four 'phases' tied together is now about 10 miles.ĭespite being about the same length as Hammy, a competent rider can finish Cane in about an 60-70 minutes.whereas the former is a solid two hour trail. You will not find a skill level that will not have fun here- it's great for beginners, but the challenge scales with speed, and there is definitely still plenty of room for speed here.
For the space it's in, however, I can appreciate that it is VERY well-designed and still quite fun. Has similarities to both, but can't help but feel kinda small-scale. Or maybe more the light version of Lock 4. I don't get it.Ĭane Ridge is the light version of Hammy. For some reason, people here love this place, though. Repeated tight, uphill switchbacks are the mark of jackass trail design.no flow here. The climb to the black diamond bits is not doable by any mere mortal, and the rest of the climbing is still miserable. It has some of the best, nicely-groomed, kinda-downhill trails, and I hate it. Which leads me to Percy Warner, which was designed by an asshole. Probably has some of the hardest bits of any trail in the area, but it doesn't feel the trail designer was just a fucking asshole. It can be very punishing but also very rewarding. Hamilton Creek is an excellent 11 mile tech-fest slog. Popular opinion is that it unequivocally sucks.
