Looks like a ton of fun!

Rode there a few years ago. I said many of the same things as you about the climbs 😂 It was a fun trail though. Peoria has some fun systems!!

Hi Jason! Good timing, we were just talking about heading out that way after our Fay and Kickapoo trip last weekend.

[@TheMediocreMountainBiker]

I’ve heard good things about Dirksen and Fort Creve Coure (sp?) too, nearby.

Was going to take a Peoria trip and hit comparable, then Indy. That order or reverse it? Also, any other must rides in the area?

[@TheMediocreMountainBiker]

Give Dirksen and Ft Creve Coeur - I didn’t have a chance to ride those but I heard they were also fun. I’ve ridden. Farmdale a few times and it’s just not all that exciting for me anymore.

@@TheMediocreMountainBiker thanks! Comparable meant to say Comlara.

Have you tried Kenzie in the Peoria area? It's Peoria areas best location in my opinion.

[@shawneggers4484]

@@tyarnold4088 good to know! I have not gotten down to Peoria yet half in part to this horrible wet summer weather we’ve had lol. Really looking forward to maybe camping in the Peoria for a few days come September and hitting Farmdale, Indy, and Kinsey.
