The T.O.E. is CLOSED.

Trail Description The T.O.E., otherwise known as the Trail of Experience, is a private mountain bike trail and only accessible by members of the Ridge Riders Mountain Bike Association. We lease this property for the purpose of building mountain bike trails. The trail is approximately 7 miles in length and is considered to be the most technical trail in the state. With over a dozen bridges and miles of steep ups and downs, you will quickly learn how the T.O.E. got its reputation. We started the trail in 1999 and have been adding new sections ever since. The property also has a freeride area known as "Stuntland" and a dirt jump area known as "Jumpland" offering mountain bikers a variety of extreme challenges.

Our club carries liability insurance and makes monthly lease payments on the T.O.E. This is why you must be a member in order to ride the T.O.E. Trespassers will be prosecuted. For $2.50 a month, we see no reason for anyone to be a trespasser. Please abide by these simple rules that the property owner has requested. Upon joining the Ridge Riders, you will receive a membership package with the T.O.E. gate combination. Do not expect to show up at the gate to sign up. This must be arranged ahead of time.
