Exit 30 off I 93 in Woodstock. Go north on US 3, 2.1 miles to Woodstock Town Hall parking lot on left. Head north on road to start ride. Turn left onto Cilley Rd. Begin climb on gravel for 1/2 mile. Go left onto old roadbed as road appears to end at a house.
I may have missed something here.... I followed the road uphill to the fork in the trail with a sign that clearly stated I was headed on the Ciley loop. The road turned into a trail that had been recently cleared by a serious excavator. For what seemed like endless miles I was forced to push my bike up the "trail" due to the extreme uphill terrain that was torn to pieces by the recent excavation. Im not joking when I say it looked like some1 was trying to follow the trail with a 10 foot wide plow on a tank in early March. When I crested the hill I did see a few granite remnants of Peeling but much of it has actually been pushed aside by the excavation. FINALLY i hit some downhill which turned into a nice pump section. I came out, crossed a road, got on another trail and then hit an area that was completely swamped over. I attempted to cross with my bike over my head but it was up to my chest. So I had to turn around and find a road to ride back to the other side of the mtn. Long story short I dont reccomend this. I believe I followed directions clearly and it was a nightmare of a day.
