Description
Starting at Lake Mary Road and Lone Tree, this loop will take you around the airport and its runway. This loop connects to countless active and decommissioned forest roads, motocross trails, and singletrack trails. Approximately 1 mile of it is on paved road, as you pass the terminal. It's fairly flat, save for moderate climbs at the beginning and just as you approach the paved stretch. Some of the more open areas on the southeast side can be very sandy, while the shadier areas can be very muddy depending on the season.
