Cross Country Rider Summary:
First off, I'd like to give big props to the Cascades Cycling Club for building and maintaining the trails at Ella Sharp - for those of us mountain bikers in Ann Arbor, it's great to be able to ride there.
The trails at Ella Sharp don't have any stunts or difficult obstacles, but can make for a challenging cross-country ride. I am an excellent rider and am comfortable riding extremely technical trails as well as difficult stunts. Ella Sharp isn't going to test your ability to stay on a 50-foot ladder, but it will test your bike-handling skills, especially if you put some effort into riding the trails. If you ride them hard, it's an extremely good workout and your bike-handling skills will improve as well. Put it this way: if you are looking to get a good x-country workout, Ella Sharp is an excellent place to ride.
Check the Cascades Cycling Club for a good description of the trails (http://www.cascadescyclingclub.org/TrailsDesc.htm) and check the MMBA site (http://www.mmba.org/trails.php?trail=32) for trail maps. Recommended Route:
Follow the Cascades descriptions for the best route. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Burchfield up at Holt is awesome as well!

, from Jackson, MI Summary:
Some technical trails with decent length but, little elevational change. Remember to face orange markings when riding for proper route direction.
Recommended Route:
Personal favorites: River Trail (near basketball courts) and Tunnel trail (enter through school trail,Park and 4th St.)

Trails are OK. They are a little redundant, but a good training ride for us locals. I guess If I didn't ride this trail so much Id like it better. There are no big climbs. I love big climbs. The single track here is tight. Nothing scarry, but some sketchy stuff like off-camber turns. Recommended Route:
TAke West Ave. thought the roundbout. you'll see it. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Poto or Custer

Don't try to ride in Marquette Co. It sucks, stay in the floodplains, much better on you bike.
