Blue Mounds Map Addendum
The newly added section is called Over Lode. It is located in the Pleasure Valley section of Blue Mound State Park. It connects to the main loop by crossing Mounds Road on the way out and Ryan Road, then Mounds Road again on the way back. It is about 4 miles of trail, and adds 3.4 miles to the main loop. The net is less than the amount of new trail because it exits and enters the main loop at points about 0.6 mile apart.
Overlode Trail is less tight and technical than the rest of the singletrack. It can be ridden a lot faster because it has wider turns and much less rock. It has about 1000 ft of vertical (about 1000 up and 1100 down), with 5 large climbs. It opened in fall 2006 and was constructed by CORP (Capitol Off Road Pathfinders) with financial help from REI and Pacific Cycles. See Detail>
Thanks for the info Walt.
