Oak Mountain Red Loop, Alabama
Location: Oak Mountain State Park, just south of Birmingham, Alabama
Length: 16.5-mile loop ridden either direction
Configuration: Singletrack, forest road, paved road
Difficulty: Moderate
The Good: Well-built trails, fast singletrack, nearby amenities (read: Waffle House and carry-outs)
The Bad: Heavy trail usage, shortage of nearby camping
More Info: Oak Mountain State Park P. O. Box 278 Pelham, Alabama 35124. Phone 205-620-2520. Nearby <?php print l('Cahaba Cycles','node/1252'); ?> is a great source for gear and Oak Mountain information as well as mountain bike rentals.
While carving turns on the extremely well built and maintained Oak Mountain singletrack, give thanks to BUMP for their trail-building efforts. For those who prefer all civilized amenities such as Waffle House and nearby hotels, you will like Oak Mountain State Park. Those looking for a weekend of solitude may not. Beginner and intermediate riders will enjoy the moderate elevation gain and the very rideable condition of the trails. More advanced riders will take advantage of the fast, carving singletrack and several technical sections including Rockgarden and Blood Rock that will keep you on your toes.
