Garmin Connect profile from a recent ride Kirkwood MTB trail map About the Trail Hounds: We are a laid-back, loosely organized group of mountain bike riders of all ages and abilities, centered in Amador County. Initial objectives are to bring together like-minded outdoor enthusiasts via weekly or bi-weekly trail rides. Longer-term, we hope to interact with local authorities to plan and help build a trail system right here in Amador County.
