We went
mountain biking at Rabbit Mountain open space the other day, and it was as rocky as I remembered. It's not an overly technical trail; generally speaking it's pretty fast-moving. There are not a lot of big obstacles - just a lot of smaller rocks. There are some spots - mostly at the beginning - that require some technical skill.
We usually climb up the trail from the trailhead by the parking lot, and then take the Eagle Wind Trail loop - about 3 miles - and come back down the way we came. Keeping it simple.
We used to ride Rabbit Mountain frequently when we first started mountain biking a couple of years ago. It was our go-to trail after work, because it's the closest trail to Longmont and it was good for beginners. (It's off of Hwy 66, right before Lyons.) I didn't ride the trail last year, so I considered this ride my time to get reacquainted with Rabbit Mountain. It was also a nice reminder that I am not in great shape. A walker kept passing us at the start in the most technical part of the trail. (For the record, we caught up and passed her later.) After we got up to Eagle Wind, we moved much faster! It was fun.
I took a lot more photos of the trail than I expected, but I'm sharing many of them here anyway.

And some shots of the trail itself ... I find it's not really that easy to take good shots of the trail. But I tried anyway to illustrate the rockiness that is Rabbit Mountain..
