Update May 2007 - Another section of trail is ready to ride at millers.  Huge thanks to FOCKER, HH, Tubless Todd for making this trail appear in just a couple weeks after flagging and approval from Alex.  The new trail is very technical, some nice features right on the trail, rollers, drops, rock gardens - even a wall ride and table (coming soon)..  Not to mention sweet slickrock to minigap next to stream. - THe new trail (1.1 miles long)  is on the map, but basically if you follow the south red trail, you will run right into it, it is temporarily flagged pink, due to the many gynological exams you will encounter.

There are new singletrack trails going in at millers pond..  Come help us out on the next trail day..  Trail work days will be posted in the forum..  Most recent trail's  are on map in RED labeled "new" - short about 1.5 miles totall but they  rock.. Go ride it..  Then tool around to check out other stuff..  Warning, the new trails are not for the timid.  Solid expert, great technical singletrack with natural rollers and drops right on the trail..  Many nearby trails around the pond for beginners.  More miles to come..

Thanks NEMBA, and special thanks to Alex Sokolow for making this trail project happen.
