Today, to avoid heavy recreational traffic near our current campground, we rode unpaved national forest roads, and the ride was gorgeous. Had to ride on pavement and deal with traffic there and back, but once we hit the gravel, we were able to ride for miles without any houses, loose dogs, and only a very few Jeeps that passed us. Beautiful forests, plenty of shade, just luscious! I am not a technical mountain biker, most single track is way too difficult for me, but I absolutely love this sort of thing. It was rocky in places, but well-packed. Perfect for the fullie! 18 miles total, and every one of those earned. :-)
