You can access Sol Train East via several different trails, including descending Gutz or climbing Race Track. However, for a full-blown mountain bike ride, consider this route combination. This figure-8-style ride climbs road 110 before connecting to Spartan East, following Spartan East to Little Rainbow, climbing Sun Up, and then dropping down Sol Train East. After finishing Sol Train East, you could definitely continue down Race Track, but for a more aggressive (and berm-filled) descent, pedal over to Lost Trail for a fast drop back to the valley floor.

Sol Train embodies all the new school trail building principles that you've no doubt come to expect from modern flow trails. On Sol Train East you'll enjoy bermed turns with perfect radiuses, tabletop jumps with long sightlines, rollers with the option to double them up if you're moving fast enough, grade reversals, and a predictable trail tread. Lost Trail, on the other hand, is the result of attempting to turn an old school fall line trail into something of a flow trail, but not fully achieving that objective. The berms up top are tight and twisty, with the trail quickly opening up with high-speed downhills, natural kickers and drops, and the occasional rocky section.

If you enjoy a variety of features in your flow trail ride, with a little workout before you get to the goods, this route combination will deliver exactly what you're looking for!
