I had a mostly free day to ride all I wanted. I decided to map out both of the trails near home. One its about two miles and the other about three. They both connect, although they do so at a street with a standard curb. Kinda hard to get down and back up on a trike without dismounting and dragging the trike over them...annoying.
Going to the end and backtracking it just 
about eleven miles. Not too bad, about half
about eleven miles. Not too bad, about half
is wooded with good shade, the rest is very sunny. I found a few dirt trails that were wide and flat, I would love to find more like this. So I decided to try out the track I noticed on the other side of the
gully on the way out.
Other riders and joggers confirmed it went the right way. Halfway though I found out why some off road tires like Schwalbe Big Apple HS 338 Fatty Bicycle Tire
(20x2.0, Allround Wire Beaded, Reflex) or Fat Alberts would have been nice to have bought with the trike. My road tires have fairly smooth tread and they are not so good for traction once you sink into sand. I was literally spinning my wheels. Sigh, another dismount and drag the trike. I should have tried the left turn I passed. I got back to paved trail pretty quick and decided no more off road till I switch tires. Too bad, this type of trail is fun
