[C4 Rides] Creeper Trail on Saturday?

[Jerry Mann]

That is a nice section to ride, approximately 16 miles up and back.  The elevation gain is measurable, but easy to manage because the grade is low (it is an old rail bed).  As mentioned below your biggest concern will be the folks on the trail who are not practiced cyclists, just out for a fun ride with the family, or get over enthusiastic and put themselves into dangerous situations.  Go for it if you can
