Overview
This ride combines five shorter singletrack sections (Toads Wild Ride, Sherwood Forest, Space Mountain and Rosewood) into a figure 8.<br><br>Space Mountain and the Rosewood descent are the main attractions of the ride. Space Mountain starts with a short steep climb, then settles into a gradual climb with several sharp switchbacks. The trail is in good shape, but has a lot of sharp rocks embedded in it and some occasional ruts. <br><br>At the top of Space Mountain there is a bench that's good for a quick breather before starting a traverse which has a great view of the city below. At the end of the traverse if a steep downhill section with two sharp switchbacks, just before the trail crosses a private road. From here there is a gradual, then steeper climb, to where the trail forks to the left. (To the right is a very short connector to the top of the Rosewood Trail right and down, and left to the picnic table where one can really enjoy the view of Newbury Park below.<br><br>It's a wonderful ride that will reward with a little bit of everything.
