Earlier this summer my family went for a Father’s Day hike on Quarry Mountain. A little way into the hike, my sister and I started looking at the possibility of using the Quarry Mountain trail as a technical downhill ride with an easy double-track approach.
Sam and I rode Quarry Mountain today. The trail was a lot more narrow and considerably more technical than I remember from the hike. The trees were dense, the switchbacks were tight, and the terrain was fairly rocky. It was impossible to pick up much speed, but we made it down without too much trouble. The whole ride was close to two miles roundtrip and took around a half hour.
Probably not going to race off to ride Quarry Mountain again. Good ride though.
