The Dragon Mountain Bike Trail - Newaygo State Park to Brower Loop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2023
- The Dragon is a mountain bike trail about 30 minutes northwest of Grand Rapids, MI. As of summer 2023 it's about 75% complete and it'll be around 50 miles of prime single track when done.
This ride was from Newaygo State Park to Brower Park. It's about 10 miles one way making a nice 20 mile ride out and back. I would say this piece has some of the best flow of all the completed sections so far.

Really appreciate your example of a trail user with manners and respect for others using the trail!!!
Come ride The Trails @ Andrews in Berrein springs mi
Thanks Bruce!! Try to live by, treat others how you want to be treated. ;)
Thanks for showcasing our local trails! Just rode the Brower Loop and Section 5, yesterday. It was great riding in 68 degree weather, in February!
Heck yeah!! Such a great trail. I'm hoping to get up there this coming weekend in the 60'ish degree weather. :)
Nice video thanks looks like a very nice place to ride
Thx JB. It really is a fun trail. If you're ever in the area you should take advantage of it. 😊
little nervous about going to this place to bike and it is my first time to mountain bike. I watched your video before I go, still got leg cramps on both haha, the climbing up is quite hard for the first timer, I do find mountain biking joyful tho, thanks!
Have you went yet?
The Dragon being 2 way seems a little sketch to me. This trail looks very fun. Hopefully one day next season I can find a way to get there.
Honestly visibility is pretty good on most of the trail. I've never had an issue and (most) everyone is aware and cautious. Definitely find time to ride it, it's a super fun trail. 😊
I like to ride fast. Some of those curves look sketchy with a two way
Very smooth footage. Is that a chect mount? This is some of the most watchable live trail footage I've seen. I don't know if it's because the trail is so dailed or your suspension. Also is this ride on Strava? i'd like to download it so i don't take any wrong turns when I'm out there. Nice hob on this
It's a GoPro11 with the chest mount and max lens mod. Does a nice job!! Thanks for watching!!
Are there any jump sections?
@@JKryanX It’s 99% XC riding with a few good rolling hill pieces on the west side. It’s a designed flow track. There are a few areas that have some built in jumps but I wouldn’t go there if that’s specifically what you’re looking for. Outside of that, it’s an awesome trail.
How long did it take you to do your ride
I think the whole loop was like 3.5 hours. Not too bad. There isn't a lot of climbing. I think the elevation is only like 1800'. :)
I'm visiting my in laws who live about 5 miles from here, is a 140/130 bike overkill for these trails? Nice video!
Hey thanks!! It's all machined flow trail...nothing chunky. I ride a FS also and typically "lock out" on the dragon outside of a few fun DHs. Enjoy...fun trial. :)
Awesome, thanks man!
