The Meadowood Project

There's been a lot of activity here in the Northern Virginia area and new trails have been pooping up on a regular basis, meaning there's lots of choice when it comes to selecting where to go on my Saturday morning ride.  For the last couple of weeks, myself and a couple of work colleagues have been talking about checking out 'The Boss Trail' at the Meadowood project.

Based in Lorton VA, there is a brand new trail head with Gravel parking just off Gunston Road past Gunston Elementary School.  The main loop for mountain bikers is the South Branch Loop, we chatted with someone at the trail head who suggested that this is best ridden clockwise and although this is not a one way trail system his advice was right.

The South Branch Loop is in Purple

Although it was a cold day the sun was shining and the trail was bone dry meaning riding conditions were almost perfect.  There were a lot of dry leaves, but clearly this is a well used trail, so there were no issues finding our way.  Trail markers placed along route helped to keep us on track.

About halfway round the loop clockwise there's a short jump section with a few berms to keep the flow and maintain speed however the real gem is the newly opened 'The Boss Trail', starting out with a short boarded section it flows in to some ramped corners, across a jump and into another steep and boarded corner.

Here's a quick vid of me making my way through the first section of 'The Boss Trail'.

I'm already planning my next trip there!
