Walnut Creek – Need Specific Trails<\/strong><\/span><\/a>

\nFor those of you familiar with this place, i need some help
\nFound a trail map here – http:\/\/www.mountainbiketx.com\/downlo…t_Creek_II.pdf<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On Feb 2nd, there will be a trek demo day there and I’m going to test ride a Rumblefish and a Fuel EX. We are allowed 30 minutes on each bike.
\nI’d like to find some technical uphills, fast trails, and rock gardens. Can someone point me out to some of them on this map?<\/p>\n

And can you point out the dj\/pump track section? If there’s time, I’d like to hit that up too.<\/p>\n

\nAs someone just getting into mountain biking and living in Allen, does anyone have experience with cottonwood creek trail in east allen? I understand its a few random trails near each other, but the city has plans to connect their trails in the future. Besides Erwin park, any other places to try nearby?<\/p>\n
