It was hard to decipher their post, but they *might* have a more noob/beginner/kid-on-a-full-size-bike friendly loop this year. Last year, their "everyone" loop immediately put the entire group onto a snotty, rocky uphill. This year, there was a post that someone's gf was putting together an "easy" loop but I couldn't tell if it was sarcastic or not because it ended on a weird note.

Phoo from DelVal FB chatter yes a simple 4-5 mile beginner loop approved as girlfriend friendly is being offered.
Also an adventure loop for bigger bikes or just an easy ride.

Too bad the person who was supposed to lead this group took a wrong turn, ended up on the hardest section, and busted up their <something on their leg>. I think it happened before they led anyone else to a similar fate, "at least." (In quotes because I obviously hate that she got hurt, but it's good that other noobs didn't follow her.)


I hope you had a good time, Boom Boom!

By 10am it was mostly mist and not all that bad. Let my nephew have my enduro bike for the day...was his first real trail ride and got to ride the orange, green and DS loops. Full day for him. I was impressed with the weather they still had close to 300 riders.

I enjoyed that event last year. Glad some people still got to ride
