This is the trail to come to in Southeast Ohio. They’re still working on building out some of the support - like a larger parking lot - but the trail itself was in really good condition when we wrote it. It has beginner, intermediate and advanced trails. We rode a beginner and an intermediate both in great shape (Gob Pile Loop, Coal Train Trail and Salt Works Trail - counter clockwise). A good mix of climbing and flow. Highly recommended.
I finally got the chance to ride the new Baileys Trail System in Chauncey Ohio. I had heard so much about this trail system that I had to ride it. I was told the best direction to ride the trails is clock wise so I am rating my experience based on that. My son and I drove an hour and a half to ride these trails. We rode Gob Pile Loop, Coal Train Trail and Salt Works Trail. It was about 7 miles total. We pretty much spent about 70% of our time climbing. When we got back to the parking Lot another rider told us that we probably would have liked it better had we rode it counter clockwise. I do plan on riding it again in the other direction but for now based on riding it clockwise I was not impressed. You will get a good work out yes but we were told it’s Fast with a lot of flow and that is correct for About 2 of the 7 miles we rode. The trails themselves were well groomed and the scenery was gorgeous. I will post another review after I ride it again in the opposite direction.
