The Courthouse Loop trail did not disappoint! I thought it was going to be very easy and was considering cancelling. I'm glad I didn't! It has a variety of surfaces that vary in difficulty level but you have it all. It was my first time on a mountain bike on a trail like this. The bike was great. Our guide was amazing. I recommend to anyone considering this bike tour, to just do it.
