Green Ridge State Forest stretches across the mountains of western Maryland with over 100 miles of dirt roads and trails and is especially suitable for mountain bikers. This route takes you along the racecourse for the Maryland Mountain Bike State Championships. This ride is for a more advanced cyclist looks for challenging climbs, tricky switchbacks, and fast forest-road descents that require technical riding skills. Along with the challenges there are many rewards such as ridge-top views overlooking the forest covered mountains and beautiful scenery as you dip into the valleys and ride past the river. One extraordinary sight is the majestic rock face of Sideling Hill, one of the United States’ greatest rock exposures.
