Summary:
This trail could be good, in fact it is good. Except for when my face and legs get tore up by all the uncut vegetation. I heard Mason City had some well organized mtb riders, why haven't they maintained this trail?

Recommended Route:
The directions are good, you can also get to it from the beginning of the cart path at the golf course.

I just moved here so I don't know about much, the Lime Creek trails are pathetic. Someone said there are more trails there though and they're good.

Summary:
Due to nice weather this fall I was able to ride this trail over Thanksgiving break and just today at the beginning of my X-mas break. The bottom of this pit area is pretty tore up by off road vehicle so the riding down there is lame. The quarry rim trail is pretty cool because it's fast, technical, dangerous but short and narrow enough to keep the off road vehicle from tearing it up worse than my x-girlfriend. Speaking of my x-girlfriend some dude were rock climbing a part of the quarry wall, they said the climb was named "x-girlfriend" because it's so damn loose, sweet...

Recommended Route:
Combine this ride with other Mason City rides for a decent work out...

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Paulsen's Point, Lime Creek, The Soar Trail... Take a trip to Floyd if you're into dodging horses, hillbillies and fallen trees.

Summary:
I don't think this trail is getting ridden enough, there were lots of annoying whips when I rode it. Pretty cool though, do some trail maintenance jerks.

Recommended Route:
Park by the road and go.

Summary:
This trail isn't near as exciting as I expected. The trail is technical only in that you have to be able to hold a straight line, otherwise the trail is pretty easy riding. It is July here in Iowa, so the weeds were good and thick. I must say that the trail is VERY short! It took 20 min to ride it out and back. If you are already in the area it might be worth checking out for fun, but don't travel any distance just to try this one. I would probably give it 3 "stars" if it were longer, but as is it only deserves 2.

Recommended Route:
See other descriptions, only one way to get there, and only one way to ride it.

I'm new to the area, so the only other trails I've ridden are in the Lime Creek area.

Wouldn't have known about this trail if I hadn't read about it on here so that's cool. Rode it while visiting relatives in Mason. pretty tight riding and dangerious too - have fun.
