New mountain bike skill trail opens

Truckee Trails Foundation

Truckee Trails Foundation introduces the Compass Skills Loop, an all-inclusive and adaptive mountain-bike skills development trail. Located at the Sawtooth Trailhead, the 1-mile dirt trail is suitable for kids, adults and adaptive riders at the beginner and intermediate levels. The loop introduces mountain bikers to the core skills they need to ride safely, while also helping them gain experience and build overall confidence.

Trail designer Steve Wentz of Momentum Trail Concepts was hired to design and build the skills loop, and the Truckee Trails crew members assisted with the trail construction.| truckeetrails.org
