Meanings
plural singletracks · alternative single track
- A narrow mountain biking trail that is approximately the width of the bicycle.
But there's a type of track that is the ultimate in the sensory cycling experience. It's called “singletrack” and only the most experienced need apply. Even then, tackling a one-lane mountain-bike trail is a daunting deed.

For one trail, Romero Canyon sure can dish up a multicourse meal of riding conditions. A portion of steep fire road climbing, followed by some sweet, smooth singletrack, a side order of rock-garden challenges and, if you've got the stomach for it, a tree-canopied descent that will challenge even the best rider's technical skills.
