It really is a great trail system but man is it a workout. I think I kind of forget just how much harder it is.
If you're not fighting your way up a hill then you're fighting to keep from rolling out of control on a downhill. And when you're not on a hill there are plenty of turns, roots, rock gardens, and logs to keep you from relaxing.
I think I did well. At BPW I often ride less than 5 miles, but I had energy to keep going and rode over 6 miles. Aside from the challenging hill climbs, there are a good number of logs that trip me up at BPW. I don't even attempt many of them. I really need to find time to spend on improving my hopping abilities.
I encountered a bunch of mountain bikers I knew. There was a GROC Mountain Bike Patrol meeting there today and a bunch of them rode afterwards. I also saw a few GROC board members riding, as well as a handful of riders I don't know.
