Evans Preserve Cyclists describe this trail as an adult playground, which features seven progressive jump/tech lines. Each jump line is easily repeatable, and each progression offers new obstacles like table tops, knuckle jumps, and gap jumps. The two technical lines feature steep drops followed by rock garden navigation. The outer loop has a great cross-country feel, with many rollers and berms flowing through trees. The outer loop can be ridden in either direction. The inner loop from the eastern hub features a jump line with an optional stone drop and an observation point where you can rest. The inner loop is also easily repeatable. While the inner loop can be ridden in both directions, the preferred direction seems counterclockwise. Evans Preserve is excellent for intermediate to advanced riders.
