Which trail for out of towner?

[GMitchel]

Coming down to the Quad Cities for Labor Day weekend. I've ridden Sunderbunch once in 2010 and raced at Sylvan Island in 2011.

So, suggestions welcome: should I return to Sunderbunch again or ride Scott Co park? I'll be staying in Davenport, so both are close enough.

I probably have about a 3 hour window for riding.

Sunderbruch has gone through some changes since your last visit so if you enjoyed your ride there in '10 I would suggest a return.

Along with Sunder and Scott County Park, consider Illiniwek Forest Preserve. Amazing flowing downhills. You'll ride over 5 miles and not even know it. Tons of fun.

Rule of thumb with the QC trails (IMO)
-Sunder for technical (full loop is approx 6.5 miles)
-Scott County for miles - 1 full lap is approx 11 miles.
-Illiniwek for swoopy, flowy "earn your dirt" downhills, about 5 miles for a loop.

I'd offer to ride with ya but Saturdays don't work for me. I'm sure someone will post up to show you around.

Have fun!

Well, I got in an hour ride this morning before the rain started. I love the new additions, especially the Jubilee trail! That was a fun one.

Last time I was here Kickapoo was unridable, that was a nice one too. Very fast...

I'll definitely be back.
