Traverse is a short, flat mountain biking route in Pinehurst Park, a city-managed park in Wisconsin. The ride is an out-and-back of about a quarter mile, with a total climb of about 40 feet, and it sits at roughly 1,050 feet of elevation. The route is so brief that it works well as a quick stop or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the park. The most comfortable months for riding are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Eau Claire show June highs around 79°F and September highs around 72°F, with July the warmest at about 83°F. Several other mountain biking routes lie within a tenth of a mile, including Westside, Grass Drags and Salamander. For climbing, Mt. Simon is about 3 miles away.
