I rode Taskers Gap a few years ago and swore I would never go back. I have ridden some rocky trails but that place is crazy.

Well, with a little bit of luck I can ride that blue section at the Cove clean and not put a foot down.

That section on 495, the rocks brought me to a complete stop several times. Twice I had to get off my bike and muscle it into a different line bc the crappy line I picked was unridable (by me at least..). Though like most things, I think I could do better with practice.
I promise to take a few pictures next time.
How does it compare to that one rocky trail at Mountian Ridge?

it takes me about 5-years for the memory to soften and my impression of my skills to inflate unrealistically.

Then I go back and realize that indeed, rocks suck and so does my riding. :barf:

Id like to get a "warm up" for the Michaux enduro, but its not going to happen for me. I guess the first section will have to be my warm up.
