I ride Case and here. It’s been so rainy so I will try to hit Cowles when we hit a dry spell this Summer. Rocky Road is my favorite trail at Cowles. By the way, you have some kick ass filming and editing skills. Cheers and best wishes.
Smaug's is definitely not a Black Diamond Expert trail. Techy Blue at best. Totally doable. I like to say Keg Roller is your reward for enduring Smaug's.
@@mtbct Cowles is maintained by the city. If they called Smaug's a Blue trail and someone got hurt, there would be liability on the city's part for the label. But labeled as a Black Diamond expert trail and someone gets hurt, they were warned. Silly lawyers.
Great place to ride. I like that you can easily warm up on the trails next to the parking lot before heading towards the more DH stuff. Keg roller is short but amazing flow by CT trail standards. Wish you got to hit Rocky road. Last time I rode there a trail builder said he was making another DH trail to connect it to the lower trails like Taj Mahal to Tobaggon.
Hey man- I’ve seen so many of your videos, and you gotta come down to Mianus river state park in Stamford. Its kinda unassuming and you won’t find much online, but there’s a lot of cool features if you look around (happy to give a tour…)
Looks fun man.
I love Cowels it’s an hour from me but try to ride there 2-3 times a month! The crew is really good about maintenance. Another great video.
Yes, the crew is excellent about maintaining the trails. Thank you for the support!
Place looks epic, need to sort my broken dropper lever out before I can get technical again 😵💫

I just relay what trailforks has it labeled as and I totally agree with a blue rating.

Thank you, I have yet to explore that area! Send me a message on my Instagram, and we can definitely link up.
You almost hit that tree!🙃
Awesome video!❤
There definitely was a few close calls!
