About the Event
This is a strong intermediate ride. Mainly rated that way for the climbs:Â
Mount Herman-Limbaugh Canyon Loop takes you from Monument Preserve up Mount Herman Road to a little-used trail (715) behind Mount Herman and Raspberry Mountain. The route starts with a dirt road climb for approximately 4 miles to the start of the singletrack. The singletrack section is fairly challenging, except in Limbaugh Canyon itself. The initial climb from Mount Herman Rd is steep and covered with loose gravel - for most people, this becomes a short hike-a-bike section. Once over the initial climb, the trail descends along a narrow, moderately technical track until it empties out in Limbaugh Canyon. The canyon stretch is a great, flowing trail with a few surprises. As the canyon narrows towards its northern terminus, the trail becomes somewhat more technical. Although this central stretch is fairly unchallenging, the trail does throw up some sudden technical sections that warrant a bit of care. Eventually, the trail dumps out above Monument Preserve, where you can catch Mount Herman Road back to the trailhead.
