One of the best MTB systems in SE Wisconsin? Being humbled at Quarry Ridge | Madison, WI

#mtb #intermediate #advanced #flowtrail #jumplines #drops #progression

I headed to Quarry Ridge to practice jumping but I failed and the system humbled me. However I found a lot more...

Quarry Ridge is a small but diverse trail system southwest of Madison, WI, actually in Fitchburg. Built in an old quarry, it contains progressive lines for jumping, drops, flow and technical. A bit of everything. While small it backs a punch and is one of the best MTB systems in SE Wisconsin.
