Reactor Trail

0.8 mi Loop 85 ft gain

0.8-mile gravel loop with 85 ft of elevation gain, signed as part of the local cycle network, mostly separated from motor traffic.

Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.

  • Thunderstorms — lightning and cyclists do not mix — get off the road before they arrive.
  • Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
  • 25 mph wind — strong — plan for slow outbound if wind is against you.
