quixoft Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I rode the whole 28 mile loop for the first time this morning and I'm so glad I did the south side first. That trail is no effin joke. Brutal but fun as hell. I started at Tejas and went counter clockwise. Really fun ride and I saw no one outside of some hikers and a couple bikes around Cedar Breaks and Tejas. If you like 20 miles of cheese grater rock gardens and tech climbs this is the trail for you. Bring your patch kits! I didn't get any punctures and I was shocked considering how sharp some of the rocks are in the gardens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have added almost 2 mi somewhere because the full loop is just over 26 mi. I ride a lap at least once per year, and love it. Still, I would never consider a second or third lap in a single day like they do in the DragonSlayer. One lap is plenty enough punishment for me. I've also only gone clockwise. I need to try a counterclockwise lap one of these years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably find some marks that didn't quite go through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, glad to hear you liked it so much. Sounds like you need to sign up for the DS this coming fall! 😉 Cheers, CJB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also only gone clockwise. I need to try a counterclockwise lap one of these years. I got lost a couple times on the pavement portion in Cedar Breaks trying to find the road to the dam(I went toward the boat ramp initially) and a couple other spots where I took wrong turns and had to back track. Agree on the second lap. I'll definitely do it again but just one lap. 🙂 Edited March 28, 2022 by quixoft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
