Lebanon Hills Mtn Bike Trail in Eagan, MN - Super popular trail in the metro

- Rode Lebanon Hills with a few buds from my hometown last weekend and it was frickin humid!
The weekend before I rode with J Girl at Lone Lake Park which was the first time I'd rode since spraining my ankle. My ankle felt better this ride but is still sore and hurts on bigger impacts. No setbacks though so another successful ride.
Leb is a very popular trail in the metro area. It has a huge parking lot which is usually close to full. I was there on a Sunday and expected it to be packed! I was surprised there wasn't more people there though, I think maybe the heat and humidity had something to do it. People seem to love this trail though. I usually make the trip to ride there about once a year and I have fun when I go but it's definitely not a favorite trail of mine. It has it's moments but just not what I really enjoy riding. But it is one of the better options for the metro area.
Hoping that my ankle is going to be getting close to normal again soon and I'll get up to northern MN for some real shreddin'!

Send it!
"I Gotta chill out a little bit" - continues to ride even harder! Keep up the great videos!
Gotta send it bud! 🤙🏻
Glad to see your ankle is getting better.
Thanks buddy. It’s a slow recovery
Yep!
Looks like a good ride, congrats on the 1K subs
Appreciate it! 🤙🏻
Great seeing ya Sunday and Good rip! “Wrong double black”... can’t count the times I’ve hit that first little loop thinking it was the other one. -Brett
Haha every time dude!
Good seeing you too buddy. Been running into you a lot this year. We should probably just ride together
Jeremy did that rock move @8:00 and I was like oh I bet I can do that too. Nope… lol. Sick vid. I know you’re more of a BC guy but Leb is still my favorite metro trail. It just flows so damn well and is an engaging ride the whole time. Great video as usual dude. 👍🏼
Thanks man! Yeah I always have a good time there.
Great vid bro! Nice trails
Thanks bud 🤙🏻
“Well, it’s not actually double black...” 😅 Truer words have never been spoken.
If you get back out there, they added a new jump at the end of the block loop on the early cutoff to the blue loop, pretty fun. A little bit extra pedaling if you want to ride everything.
Oh right on! I went back in and rode the full black loop there just wasn’t really anything I cared to put in the video from it haha. I don’t think I’ve ever taking the early cutoff
@@ridindirt Yea, I hadn't either till another guy gave me the heads-up. Fun stuff!
I feel like most of leb was built back when handlebar stems were 8 feet long and it shows lol
Ha!
I helped built that new jump by the Rootball. I volunteer at Leb. I lobe your videos Ridin Dirt! Leb is a fun trail. I hope your ankle gets better.
Sick! Thank you for your work buddy. Glad you dig the vids and thanks, my ankle is very slowly getting better. 🤙🏻
@@ridindirt Welcome buddy. You do great editing videos. I got lots of videos to work on that I need to edit. I'm not good at editing videos. It's a lot of fun volunteering at Leb. I'm a decent intermediate rider, but nothing like your level of riding. I'm glad your ankle is healing. I also helped built the rootball as well.
@@compgameboy779 I honestly don’t put much time into most of my edits. I film in a way that makes it easy and fast to put the video together. Glad you you like em though! That’s cool you like working on trails, I do too. Keep it up buddy 🤙🏻
@@ridindirt Nice! I'll work on that. Great to hear. AWESOME and will do! I hear you work with Buck too. The trail boss at Leb know who he is. Keep on Sending it dude!
@@compgameboy779 hell yeah buddy! 🦅🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Leb definitely has some good moments. I need to get up to ride it again. You ripped it as always! Glad to see your ankle is getting better, did you use any of the exercises I sent you? Also that line over the rock at 8:00 is such a cool line. I was stoked when I hit it up. Smashed the shit out of a rental bike on it hahahaha
Thanks dude! I did couple of the exercises but not as much as I should’ve probably. Thanks for sending those to me though, that was very cool of ya 👊🏻.
Smashing rentals is always a good time!
That uphill log feature at 3:05 is a favorite of mine.
Yeah there’s some fun shinnies in there
Just did 13 miles at Rebecca this morning. Fun. Looking good 🤠
Still never been. Fun stuff?
@@ridindirt I think so but I'm not as good as you. Lot of flow but they've been adding some small things here and there. Good place to explore. Brian and Christopher have both done videos.
@@harrygrimley4352right on. Maybe I’ll get out there this year
Those trails look like they have so much grip...I wouldn't know how to ride it lol...I am used to sliding in the sand.
Hahaha yeah it’s a lot different than the gnar you’re used to!
8:00 is crazy, I thought there were only two line choices there! Sprained ankle or not you ripped Leb
Haha thanks buddy! Not really sure what you mean about the lines at that section?..
@@ridindirt Haha most people have to just chose to take the left or the right line around the boulder, I didn't even consider that you could jump over it
@@AndrewGehn oh hahaha gotcha 🤙🏻
Dude! Hard rip here! How many takes on those skinny’s? Or are you just that good? Haha! Glad you’re out getting some with the sad ankle. Send it! I gotta go see what the 8:00 mark is all about now. 😎
Oh the rock! Yea, the rock is fun! It seems like it’d be a basher but 70% of the time, it’s ginger every time. Just gotta act like your bunny hopping it and whammy! It’s in the bag!! 😘
Thanks! First go on all the skinnies bud 🤙🏻.
Hahaha I guess going over that rock is cool 🤷🏻♂️
I'd love to see you ride a race sometime. Just to see how you do. I think you'd do great. Would be fun to see you in a race style video. Maybe?
Well thanks buddy. I’ve definitely thought about it
Sick riding dude!
Thanks dude! 🤙🏻🦅🦅
@@ridindirt What bike and travel are you running around the metro area?
@@jasongagnon4383 I have a Salsa Rustler. 150mm front and 130mm rear. It’s my only bike so I ride it everywhere. Great all around shredder 🤙🏻
@@ridindirt Cool!
@@ridindirt I have a fraction of your riding ability but trying to decide between 150/145mm travel or 130/120mm travel bike - riding mostly Minnesota.
I’d seriously hurt myself on that trail. Like Christopher Reeves hurt.
@@meedily lol well alright then
"pretty fun"
Yup haha
Kinda bummed they cleaned out that section around 2:37, when they could've just cut 3' of trail for those who want to bypass it.
Did it used to be different there? I don’t remember. Or are you just saying you’d like the option to skip that part and take a right?
Lebanon is the best trail in the metro and has been since I started riding in 1994.
I definitely haven’t been riding a mountain bike as long as you but would have to disagree with it being the best today. I respect your opinion though, it’s a fun trail! 🤙🏻
@@ridindirt what’s your favorite, Battle Creek?
@@gregkosinski2303 yeah I’d say Battle Creek for the metro. If we’re talking best trail system in the state though I’d probably say Tioga. I really love Piedmont too. That’s excluding lift access bike park.
@@ridindirt Piedmont is tits I’d like to spend more time there. A lot is past my pay grade currently
@@gregkosinski2303 Piedmont has some of gnarliest ridin’ around! It’s so sick 🤙🏻
If only I could get filmed taking a leak in the woods on a Ridin Dirt vid! #lifegoals
Weird goal but I’m not here to judge. Drink plenty of fluids 🤙🏻
Hucking to flat all day long can't help the ankle.
Hi Brian🍻
That’s what the doctor prescribed. 🤷🏻♂️
Next time you're at leb let's hit it together! I'm right off the galaxy entrance
Nice! I don’t ride there often but sounds good. Not a bad trail to have that close 🤙🏻
@@ridindirt keep posting videos! You still working for Rock solid? I'm heading to CH at the end of July
@@aaronstotko9450 will do. I work for Pathfinder Trail Building. I’ve never been to Copper Harbor but it’s definitely on the list. Have fun dude!
@@ridindirt it's a must. My 3rd year in a row. You'd shred there. #sendit
Wow wow Wow so hot so hot 🦄🔥
