The quarry has an outer loop that is about 10-12 miles long if you do it all and you will not ride over the same trail twice. There are some cut backs if you do not want to do certain sections. The best way to explore the trail if you are not familiar with exactly where to go is to go on a group ride with us and we would love to have you. The beginner group rides are just a few miles around the ridgeline while the advanced group rides will do the entire large loop. Email Grouprides@FATMUG.org to join the fun.
