I road over with my son yesterday to ride Settler's for the first time. Whomever did the layout, did a great job of space utilization. Even for having only 2 miles built, they have a few unique sections, in and out of dense trees to the open areas. It's a great start! There are a few rocks and roots that might need to be removed, from a safety perspective (hard to see, or in a turn that could catch a wheel/pedal, etc.). But, I'm sure if we get some more traffic the riders will establish the natural lines and some things will improve naturally. I think once complete this could rival Maybury, as it seems similar to the technical layout, and should be very close from a time/distance as well.
Could the trail coordinator please PM me? I'd like to see if I could support further maintenance, as I'm very local.
And please, if your reading this - head over and ride it! You can get 2-3 laps in around 30 minutes. New trails don't get built every day and we all need to support opportunities like this to ride new trails.
