So the Spencer Mtn Trail is finally complete! There is still some work that needs to be done up in there but it's nothing major and the trail will benefit from traffic so Russ and I opened up the entrance/exit on Saturday. It's not marked but it's super easy to find. After you ride the trail that goes behind the soccer fields where you pop out above the dog park instead of turning right like you would normally do (where you ride along the dog park fence and then take the right by the pine tree and go back into the woods) turn left up the power line road like you're going to ride straight up the face of Spencer Mountain. When you get to the point where there is a power line road that splits off to the left if you look to the right you will see singletrack taking off into the woods. That's the trail. Now there is no signage yet so remember this simple rule. If there is a spilt in the trail GO RIGHT unless you've been there already then GO LEFT. This is because the entrance and exit use the same 50 feet or so of trail. Also there is a stretch of trail you ride twice which we call the Deja Vu loop. The first time you get to split at the end of it you turn RIGHT then you end up coming up the same climb and your second time at the split you turn LEFT. It's all pretty easy to figure out and we will get it signed soon so it's even easier to make out. Get on it ASAP and beat the trail down!
