The Crazy Woodford 5

This ride is NOT for the faint of heart. We arrived at our campground – Woodford State Park about 3 in the afternoon, and said, “lets go knock off the Woodford five-mile loop.” Little did we know what lay ahead of us. This is a forest-service bushwack loop that was barely ridable, and took much, much longer that the half hour we thought it would take. We emerged from the forest over an hour later scratched and bruised, muddy and dazed!

Would we recommend it? Only if you are a sucker for punishment!
