well, east coast riding at Blue Marsh Lake (one of IMBA's epic rides) this
Sunday.
That's about 10 mins. from my house.
It's long, but I don't know about epic. Most sections are great, some are 5
feet wide and destroyed by barneys, fishermen, and equestrians. The poor
sections are the ones close to the day use facilities and parking lots.
Pretty fast buff singletrack. Very few technical sections. It can be
deceptively hilly. If you look at the profile it doesn't look like much but
after 20 miles all the short steep hills get more challenging.
If you're planning on doing the whole loop (~30 miles) bring plenty of
water, escpecially if it's going to be warm. The only place to refill is at
a water fountain in the visitor's center, around mile 29. If you start at
Justa Rd. and ride clockwise you can hit that at about the 2/3 mark.
Have fun.
