Grass Drags is a short, low-elevation mountain biking route in Pinehurst Park, a city-managed park in Wisconsin. The climb is an out-and-back of about 0.38 miles, with a total gain and loss of about 41 feet, so it's a quick ride that fits easily into a longer day on the park's trails. The route starts near 950 feet and reaches a high point of 955 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.14 miles in, where the grade reaches about 5%. The whole trip is under half a mile, so it works well as a warm-up or a break between longer rides. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Eau Claire show July highs around 83°F with lows near 60°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. Westside, Traverse and Stairway to Heaven are all within about 0.1 miles, and the Salamander trail is about 0.2 miles away.
