We're looking for unintimidating trails anywhere between Little Rock and Nashville, from St. Louis to Jackson MS.
After riding on some local trails (Memphis area) my two boys (ages 8 - RM65 & 6 - CRF50) have decided that trail riding isn't for them. The trails we've been on have deep muddy ruts (well, deep for a guy with 10" wheels) and steep hill climbs. Considering that trail riding is the ultimate "anti-drug" I'm not going to just say "Okay then, go run around the neighborhood." (kidding)
Actually, I just think they need a dose of wide open trails, rolling hills, and steady terrain. You know... enough to challenge them without intimidating them.
I'm looking for a place we can go camp and ride for a long weekend. Where we can get some miles on the trails without having to turn around every couple hundred yards due to some obsticle. On the other hand, I don't want to bore them (or me) either. Some 45 degree slopes and 'optional' jumps would have them begging to ride every weekend.
Does such a place exist? Is PlayStation our only refuge?
