Its been a few years since Ive road single track here in Des Moines and need to get back out one of these days. Center trails are unique to the area compared to any other trails in the Des moines area. Center is technical in many areas and has climb. If you did center trails, you could hop on the paved or ride single to Denmans. Syc is speed and fun lines with lots of challenges. Riding along the Des Moines River is cool. Denman has more cornering, tight and fast. You can also get to the river from Denmans too and ride along the Racoon River and basically be across the river from Waterworks Park. Watch out for the deer rut right now so you don't become a member to the whitetail club. Denmans has deer everywhere. You can't go wrong with any of them, just pick your poison.Anyone in here a DSM area mountain biker?
I'll be in town on Saturday AM looking to kill some time and will have my bike with me. I've ridden a little of the Center trails a few years ago, but got chased out by rain. I was thinking about trying those again, but going off of Trailforks, I think the Sycamore trails look decent too. Was curious to which people prefer and why. Doesn't look like it will be cold enough to freeze Friday night.
