The McClellan Development Authority (MDA) recently opened Phase II of the McClellan Mountain Bike Trails adding another 5 miles of trails within the last four months. The 10 miles of trails were designed by Trail Solutions, with the Phase I trails as the first specifically designed and built National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) course in the state of Alabama. Phase I of the trails are ideal for someone that is new to mountain bike riding with smooth climbs and fast smooth descents, while Phase II provides the next level full of fast descents, rugged terrain and climbs to beautiful views. The McClellan Mountain Bike Trails provide great options to meet the experience each rider seeks. https://www.exploremcclellan.com/2020/09/01/mcclellan-bike-trails-phase-ii-now-open/ #visitcalhouncountyAL #calhouncountyAL #iheartcalhouncoAL #anaturalattraction #mcclellanmountainbiketrails #mountainbike #mtb #mtblife #cycling #mountainbiking #fall #autumn
