Those are the official mountain bike trails at Theodore Wirth park. Google Maps is bad for finding mountain bike trails--it doesn't show the other Twin Cities trails at Lebanon or Murphy-Hanrehan either. They're the sort of trails you could find if you wanted to, though, by some searching or asking at bike shops.
I agree in general, though. Even if you have your own routes or know friends who have theirs, this helps break out of that rut and find some new rides. This would have been great for finding rides just across the river in Wisconsin (though as-is it wouldn't help find hills. I've always wanted a map similar to this that showed all roads in terms of both ridability and steepness).
- phil21 12y agoYep, came here to say pretty much the same thing. There are also some mountain bike trails of so-so quality down by the "blue bridge" in North Minneapolis over the Mississippi. I grew up around there so haven't checked it out in 15+ years, but it was both fun and kinda sketchy at the same time back then :)
- davis 12y agoYup, I can also confirm those are mountain biking trails. I used to bike past here every weekend 1.5 years ago. I clicked on the link because it said Minneapolis but I didn't expect it'd actually be a place that I've been before.
