Yesterday I finally got out and rode some of the trails at Brown Mt. I took my TTR-230 since I don`t trust my left leg to hold up for long if I took my berg. What I discovered was with parts of trail 1 most of the trails are tight so sheer speed wasn`t in the cards, well not for me anyway. Most of the trails were very good with places that will get you if not paying attention. The trails rode were 1,4 , 8. Trail 4 has some very large rock ledges to get over but wasn`t all that bad. Its a one way trail so you can`t go back so we didn`t. Trail 1 has some very high water breaks so that is nice but the trail is 2 way so keep your speed down. Up on top of the Mt. on trail 1 you ride across a single large flat rock for I guess 5 to 600 feet. Part is fairly smooth but the other part is very pitted or might burst a tire or go over the bars. The surface is a mixture of clay, sand that has a gilt of mica in it. Witch is more than a little slick. Throw in some big rocks and a mud hole or 2 and that gives you a idea what it looks like. There some very steep places as well. I think Brown Mt. is a good place to ride. The price $5 a day or $30 for a season is I think a good deal.
