Chubb Trail

Chubb Trail

I am so excited to tell you about the Chubb trailhead. I was blown out of the water after I finally got to try her out. I would have rode it sooner but the fact that it is a little ways a way for me to drive to made it something to look forward to. I heard from a lot of bike shops in the area that the Chubb was the best around. Seeing for myself I have to agree. I also have to agree that I fell a lot. This trail has so much to offer ranging from hills to flat land to amazing technical areas that if you came as a beginner than you will be hurtin. I really enjoyed the trail. The problem was that it was my first time out there. You see I am a jump first look later kind of guy. This is the wrong trail to do that on. Bring your helmet on this trail or you will be seriously messed up. I ran into so many obstacles that I couldn’t see straight. I quite literally ran into everything. I’m not the most graceful biker, but I hit every bump, jump, and rock possible. This trail runs into the Castlewood trailhead which will be my next big adventure. My advice on the Chubb is as follows: take it easy and wear a helmet. I of course wear helmets every time I ride off road. I have a history of breaking them, so I just rather do that than my head. Have fun on the trails and get a little wild, have some fun and break your limits!
