Happy Riding
FYI - AM1 group, here is our plan:
We are offering a solid intermediate blue/black ride -- shuttling is very limited due to parking (= NO SHUTTLE), AM1 is riding up to the top of the fire road (approx 1.25 - 1.5 hrs at moderate pace) and ride down Knob Gobbler, Holiday Sauce, etc. which will take approx 1.5 hours down for our group (= 3 hrs). If you are still feeling energetic, then we can pedal back up to Squidline (40-50 mins), and finish on fast, flowy, green trail and that would make our ride 4.5 - 5 hours long!!!! I'm sure the advanced group will be able to complete these loops in a lot less time.
Note I would described Knob Gobbler, Holiday Sauce, etc. as a solid blue/low black as it has short, punchy climbs and as it twists and turns, you need to carry your speed to make these punchy ups that may lead into a one foot rolling, decending drop. When we pre-rode the course last week, the single track was very overgrown. You may want some arm protection to keep the branches off. Otherwise, super fun day and you'll be ready for Lou's by the time you're done!!! : )
