This is why I enjoy hiking mountain bike trails in one of our state parks - the single track is beautiful and require attention and effort. Parts of the most advanced trail it is fun to imagine how a bike might traverse it, and sometimes I get to see it done. I love it, though I can't get down there too often. Basically this is what I do on a weekend when my legs need a break from the bike.
