#6 7 Oaks - Boone, IA
Some trails needed no help making the list, they were simply incredible trails. The 7.5 mile loop at 7 oaks can't really compare to the previously ranked trails. As a trail, 7 Oaks has the climbing of a Platte but the turns of Jewell. But a big factor in the rankings was the Goathead experience. Perhaps it was the mudfest we encountered on our first trip to Boone. It might have been the earth movers that woke us up every morning in '06. How many trails can you ride where you can literally camp 10 yards from the trail? That certainly played a part in the score that 7 Oaks received. Then again, maybe 7 Oaks seems so mystical because it answered one of life's biggest questions. "Just how many Goatheads can fit in a tent?"

It's not the fact that we all shared one tent that stands out in my mind, it's the fact that J-mac and Chad shared a sleeping bag that I can't forget.
Yeah that was weird! I don't know why they couldn't have zipped multiple sleeping bags together like the rest of us.
