    They have difficult spots, but alternate paths for out of shape almost 40 year olds like myself. After its stopped raining 3-4 days its a great ride. 90% or more under the canopy of trees. Dips and such but like I said not real difficult unless you take the advanced route... that one I have yet to ride without occasionally stepping off the bike.

    I rode it two weeks ago 2 days after the last rain... got a wild hair up my ass and decided to go the hard way... kicked my ass and yes it was very muddy.

    Its a great place, but it needs at least 4 days to somewhat dry out. Last year - no problem.

    Just now getting into biking. Went last week 22 miles and going to start going at least once a week, hopefully twice a week and maybe more if I can fit it into my schedule. Enjoyed it, but after borrowing a bike, I'd enjoy it more if I got my own. Going to purchase it tomorrow.

    Starting to lift next Monday. That along with biking and watching what I eat, I hope to lose 40 pounds.
