Anyone have info/advice on this ride? Me and Oxygen77 are thinking about doing it this weekend.... I tried to do a search on it and didn't really come up with much.

stop by for a visit, i'll let you borrow the Zilly book that's all you'll need. And a forest pass.....
Will do... maybe I'll drop off some DVD's and such too. I'll give you a call.

BTW - you need a trainer? I've got a stationary trainer if you need to use one when you get the cast off.

Just rode it yesterday. It's pretty straight forward. First few miles are a straight climb to the plains of... abraham? or something like that. The climb is mostly under the trees and on a nice trail so it's a workout without being obnoxious. Once you top out at the plains it's a tradeoff, the trail flattens out, but it gets a little rocky and loose. The plains are at a decent elevation and offer no shade so you might plan on bringing sweat proof sunscreen and a lot of water. Nice views from the plains. The descent from the plains is a blast just watch out for hikers and their dogs. There is a great swimming hole a little ways outside of battleground, M---- Falls park or something. Fastest way to cool off if you're going somewhere by there on the way out.
