Battle(邦德.富士达)
Battle Creek offers quite an extensive network of trails, as compared to most metropolitan trail systems. In many areas of the park, it's easy to forget you're surrounded by suburbs on all sides. Battle Creek has something for riders of all technical abilities, with trails running the gamut from smooth, hard-pack ski trails to expert-level singletrack.
The terrain is quite hilly, so expect the trails to give you a good workout. Although hilly, the climbs tend to be relatively short, with the longest single climb gaining approximately 110' in elevation. Trails are mainly fast hardpack, with a few sandy sections and a few rocks & roots.
Keep in mind that this trail there is no one right way to ride it. You can pick and choose different segments at your own will. This can lead to confusion on the part of people who are not familiar with the trail. Always be aware of your surroundings and the potential for riders to be coming from the opposite direction.
