New Trail Design In Progress

GORC is entering a new phase at Greensfelder and hopes to connect the DeClue trail to the Eagle Valley singletrack segment via a brand new trail on the north-facing hillside across from the internal paved road within the park. This will extend the singletrack portion of the "Greensfelder Challenge" loop and may prove to be the new race course IF weather and trail conditions permit.

At the previous workday, GORC trail armored three critical drainage areas on the Eagle Valley singletrack portion. The trail now rides much smoother and features three less permanent bog sections. The Eagle Valley singletrack may be perhaps the LONGEST sustained climb or descent in the St. Louis region - but this is unofficial. GPS will prove the truth in the coming months.

  1. Rode this section for the first time at the first Sunday ride on 11/7/10 on my 7 inch travel bike and all I can say is SWEET!!!!!!!!!!! I will be back for many more runs on trail as it's nice to see something similar to a mini DH trail in our area.

    THANKS,
