Mountain Biking Bomb Dog

*****   Add a review
#11 of 112 mountain bike trails in Alabama
#1,083 in the world

This is one of the first trails built at Coldwater and it's an instant classic! The descent is steep and rocky at the top and mellows toward the bottom where you can really rip. Bermed turns, rollers, and good sight lines make this an excellent flow trail.

    Wow, what a ride. You won't be dissappointed. It's fast, technical, flows, and just rocks! I grinned from ear to ear the entire way down this run. You'll climb up Cassidy to get there from the lot we used, but your downhill reward will more than justfy the effort. If you have the time and the legs, hit Goldilocks when you're at Coldwater. We hit that sections twice.

    I've only been mountain biking for a little under a year, but this is hands down the best downhill run I've found. It just keeps on giving. And if the speed and flow isn't enough how about a heaping helping of rocks to keep things interesting? The climb at the end back up to the Coldwater springs trailhead is really demoralizing though. It's like the bomb dog is giving you the middle finger at the end of the ride.
