BikeTripper's "Trail Enjoyment" Checklist

Here are 9 factors we use to find the most enjoyable bike rides.

1. Trail length - typically at least 5+ miles (10+ round-trip)
2. Trail surface - paved is best, some hardpack OK
3. Topography - flat or easy grades (like rail-trails)
4. Tranquility - prefer little traffic noise
5. Ride Safety - few road crossings, wide buffer, avoid on-road
6. Scenery - greenery, parks, waterways, wildlife, etc.
7. Points of interest - notable features along trail, or nearby
8. Shade and shelter - from sun and wind
9. Trailhead parking - secure location, amenities
