Mountain Biking Taylor Road NCT

From Taylor Rd the trail starts on a very long steep climb with tight switchbacks. Follow the blue markers and you will end up on Krause Rd. This is roughly 5 miles. Its worth it to continue past Krause and ride the Skyline trail up to Brubaker Rd and back. The trail has some fast descents, scenic overlooks and some steep bench cut single track.

    Some pretty technical climbs with the same kind of technical descending. What a true MTB trail should be. Only had time for a few miles. Want to get back and ride it all.

    Lots of climbing with excellent views. Some very fast downhills. The ride back is a blast.
