Hamblen - haven’t done that one yet.This one
View attachment 169330
All fun flow trails, mostly dirt with some tech here and there. A few challenging but not ass kicking ascents. The easier side of blue for the most part. A few features in one section. Almost empty. My friend lives around Portland so has brought his young kids there. A guy we met gave us some suggestions which were right on, then we explored, a little over 2 hours total and there was more to do. There are also connectors to other trail systems. 15 or 20 minutes from 95 south. Bring the bugspray.Hamblen - haven’t done that one yet.
What was it like ?

I wanted to swim in the ocean afterwards but had to get back for the Celtics. What is an ok beach close to the highway? Doesn’t have to be perfect, just a place to swim. Old Orchard isn’t too far out of the way but I am looking for like 10 minutes.
The tolls will start getting busy on Sunday afternoons.

Looks like you would want to know the lines before the race.Still, how’s this look at about mile 39?

Here’s some stuff from Rattlesnake yesterday. I really need to get a short travel bike again for riding out here. There are a lot of big features, but most of them roll so it’s not repeated big hit steep terrain. My Stumpy Evo is a blast out here, but you pay for it by about 15 miles.Looks like a race I'd love! My favorite thing about mtb endurance racing is that it is NOT all engine. Skill required.
I'd slap some 2.35 XR2 tires on the Supercaliber for a bit of extra cush and have some fast fun.
Riding in the BIG city, huh?A couple of rides going on tomorrow, 5/18 in Gotham and Auburn ME. I'll be at Mt Appetite.
