Moved here a couple years ago and found peace with most of my personal riding being at the downhill park (judge if ya must, with 3 kids and sports/hobbies its been tough to thoroughly explore trail systems locally).
That said, the kids (7/8) have started to pick up an interest in joining at the downhill park. I've got them both signed up for an intro downhill clinic designed for kids in June, however I'm trying to find some local trail systems that are a bit "more" (we're close to Wharton and Hartford Crossing which are both pretty benign at this point).
Trying to find something with some more challenging downhill sections and/or more varied terrain, but not entirely sure where to start.
Any quick hits? I'm in Medford but happy to drive 45min or so (beyond that I know of a few options further away; trying to find something we can make a less-committed outing for quick runs and practice)
