CT - Case Mountain (I.E. Casemart) Mountain Bike Trail Review with Map and Pictures |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
: Case mountain is so
over-ridden it sickens me.. There are so so so.. so so many
trail braids you can barely find the original trail. The main trails
are up to 8 ft wide.. TQ on the bikerag forum and others have been
working together to work on the problems with the blessing's of land
managers. |
What YOU can do.. Yes YOU.. STOP trail braiding (if you are), Stop riding the braids (as if you could tell where the original trail is).. And most importantly IF you know where the original trail is, BLOCK the trail braids. If everyone would just do a little work, it would go a LONG way.. Trail braids include short-cuts around corners, long cuts around technical lines, multiple parallel lines for no apparent reason.. Even the metavomit has fallen victim.. Also, if you find yourself riding case more than any other spot, go adventure on some new terrain. Try not to schedule every group ride there.. Thanks to all that have ventured elsewhere.. Give Back, do your part, the trails appreciate it.. Directions - Birch Mountain Road Lot - Route 384 east, exit 4, left at exit over highway, right at light, down hill, under highway, right on birch mountain road.. Travel couple hundred feet, looking for dirt lot on right.. Directions - Line Street Lot - 384, exit 3, left at exit, 1.46 miles take a left on LINE STREET, .71 miles, park in first lot on left or on side of road if lot is full.. There are NO Motorized vehicles allowed here. No dirt bikes. No ATV's. No automobiles. No Pickups. No heavy equipment No paintball. Description - Case has
been the favorite spot for mountain bikers east of the river for a long
time. It can be very crowded at times and the trails are getting
pretty worn in, making it less technical and challenging.. Some great
riding can still be had here though with good single track and nice
technical rock gardens. There is a great rock climb we call the "slick
rock" too.. Add a loop to gay city if your feeling spunky adding 6 to
9 miles to your trip.. Pre-ride Music: Praga
