I rode Taskers Gap a few years ago and swore I would never go back. I have ridden some rocky trails but that place is crazy.

Well, with a little bit of luck I can ride that blue section at the Cove clean and not put a foot down.
That section on 495, the rocks brought me to a complete stop several times. Twice I had to get off my bike and muscle it into a different line bc the crappy line I picked was unridable (by me at least..). Though like most things, I think I could do better with practice.
I promise to take a few pictures next time.
How does it compare to that one rocky trail at Mountian Ridge?

Oh come one! Never say never. There was still plenty of stuff that wasnt crazy rocky.

it takes me about 5-years for the memory to soften and my impression of my skills to inflate unrealistically.
Then I go back and realize that indeed, rocks suck and so does my riding.

Id like to get a "warm up" for the Michaux enduro, but its not going to happen for me. I guess the first section will have to be my warm up.
