Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
Not sure if this has ever been a topic here before, but just curious ...
What is your favorite ride(s)/trail(s)? Can be anything - from a local ride you've done a million times to a once-in-a-lifetime ride somewhere completely exotic.
I'll kick it off:
DuPont Forest, Asheville, NC: only did it once, but I still remember almost every detail of that day - the most perfect trail system I've ever been on.
Blue Marsh Lake, Bernville, PA: my enduro training grounds -- I've ridden about 9 or 10 hundred milers there and I've never gotten sick of it.
Sedona AZ: It's impossible to pick one ride out there because so many link together that unless you live there, breaking apart any single ride into sets of trails is pointless. I don't know how anyone who lives out there can get anythign done with all they have just out their front doors.
Honorable mention: Wissahickon (home field!), Middle Run (made for SS) and Sangre de Cristo mountains, Santa Fe (would have been in the top three if my weak ass had been able to handle the altitude better. Not the Dale Ball system -- the one that actually starts near the top of the mountains and flows in and around the ranches up that way.) Almost forgot!! Nine Mile Forest in Wisconsin ... best cycling memory of my life was the 24 Hours of Nine Mile in 2009.
Destinations yet to be achieved: North Umpqua in Oregon, Maah Daah Hey in ND, Kingdom Trails in VT.
So what are yours?
