St. Joe state park mountain bike trails?

[fastdogs]

thanks. I couldn't find a topographic map of the area, that might scare me away.
They actually have a SAG for the mountain bike part. Some reviews I read said the equestrian trails were very difficult. I think I'll call and try to get an idea of the trails they are riding. I'd hate to have to walk 14 miles up and down rocky bluffs pushing my bike.
I can usually ride down, but when I tried to do the switchbacks going up on grotpeter (the alternate to anaerobic hill or whatever it's called), I ended up walking most of that. I had wished I'd just pushed it up anaerobic hill- i think it was shorter.

There's a couple of straight up climbs, one is Lone Wolf, which leads you up to the overlook....the same side of the road as the 'interesting' part of the River Scene trail is.

The other is on the opposite side of Ries Rd. from the Love trail....the Cardiac. It splits from Justin's at the bottom just off Kiefer Creek Rd. and meets again up at the top. The Cardiac is shorter but most of Justin's is (barring some switchbacks and maybe some of those really loose larger rocky rooty spots) still easier.

Just clarifying since I've heard some people refer to Lone Wolf as the Cardiac, and Cardiac as Anaerobic, which it may be, but isn't.

Sounds like you did Justin's, which is pretty much a section of the Grotpeter, in lieu of Cardiac. Justin's/Grotpeter/Cardiac is a decent comparison to the part of St. Joe I've ridden, in my opinion. Just for a few miles more.

I rode some of St. Joe's back in February. I can't comment much on the terrain since he was a sloppy mess. I ended up not doing well because I was recovering from Bronchitis and had extreme difficulty breathing! I ended up calling it early and waited for my friend to finish. She was pre-riding the St. Joe's race course.
