I looked up Busiek on mountainbikereview.com and it confirmed what I suspected: trails going straight down the fall-line and plowed under by horses.
I suspect you could find better in your area.
I think I need to shop around a little bit too. Sac River trails get better reviews. I was afraid I was just too big of a sissy to ever be a real MTB rider, and that might be right. But Busiek does not seem to be the place to find that out, at least the up and down horse trail parts. There are still a lot of really pretty trails there that are in the creek bottoms where it is not insane.
Too bad that it is not Nirvana. It's a five mile drive from the house to the parking lot. My property backs up to within about 50 feet of the Busiek property line with the creek that I fall into and cross now and then running down the back of my place. But it is too rough between my house and Busiek to ever consider riding a bike that way. Bluffs, if you know what I mean.
