    WinMan Trails

Clocking in at just under 1.5 miles, this trail grabs your attention and holds it. With constants twists, climbs, rock features, and descents - this once keeps you on your toes (and off your seat) the entire time.

While we do have a full loop, Glacial Erratic is not fully complete. We'll finish an additional section in 2025 that will add about another mile to continue to challenge and excite all who ride it.

REMINDER: Unlike the vast majority of trails at WinMan, this one was built without ride arounds. If you approach a rock feature you are not confident on, simply walk it and set your goal to conquer it next time.
