Trekhawk, where are you again? The Pioneer Trail should be a nice singletrack to start with. Do you know it? If not, I'll find you some links. Also, the Olmstead Loop and assorted singletrack in Cool (I know, not as close).

Good video that will cover the basics is Ned Overend's mtbike video you can order from Amazon. Does that man ever age? Hmm and Tinker. Geez.
