THE TOWNIE TRAILS
Both the Huffman Trails in Medina and the Milford Trails run through city parks, and were built years ago respectively by Phat Jay and Builder Bob, among others. Both systems offer about 10-15 miles of riding. Milford is fast, but relatively flat and gets a bit “noodly” from cramming too much trail in a small area. A small jump line and post-ride food and drink in Milford’s cool little downtown, plus proximity to Highland and Proud Lake make it worth a ride or two per year.
Huffman Reagan, where I learned to ride, pleases me more and more each time I return. The surprisingly technical old school singletrack, with steep drop offs to the Rocky River and brief moments of isolation, make it feel like the old Proud Lake trails: an oasis in the middle of suburbia. Spin Bike shop is located right across the street (oddly, Milford doesn’t have a bike shop).
I’ll give Huffman Reagan 2 points, Milford 1 point.
