Yep... rode 4-02-12 (Monday).... Rode some of the non paved trails off of the G.ville Hawthorne trail. Took me about 1.5hrs to ride 10.5 miles... Kind of slow going through some of the trails.. But had had fun!!!

Linda if your reading this... They have added another 2 miles of off road trail (4 miles total out and back) to the existing trails. A good 7 or 8 miles of off pavement trails now. Most of it in the shade too. Some roots in a few places but overall not too bad... and not any HUGE roots that you can't avoid. The trails start at the parking area at the junction of county roads 2082 & 234.

Here are just a few pictures..

Soon to be boardwalk over the dried up swamp... Might be swampy again if it rains a lot.





The first time I rode this trail a few years ago there was enough water in the creek for canoeing. Kind of sad to see it like this now....
