Description: Definitely bring a map! Some can be found at http://www.racemichaux.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=16, which shows race courses mapped out by the Gettysburg Bike shop, which holds a series of races there annually. I've spent hours lost in the woods, unexpectedly riding over 30 miles. There are powerline trails, singletrack, fire roads, tough climbs, sweet downhills, beautiful scenery (definitely ride by the Pine Run reservoir), and all sorts of flora & fauna. Spend a lot of time there, and you can find what you like.

This is an awesome trail in the mountains of PA. Its really rocky and right now pretty muddy. They just had a race there this past weekend after almost a week of rain. Its messy but a challenging loop. Easy to get lost, I carry my map just in case.

Rocks, rocks, and more rocks. I used to race here back in the mid-90's with M.O.R.E back in the Ironmaster days. Very tech-y singletrack in the old school way. Lots of fun and very challenging. Easy to get lost, so ride with a local.

This is the curse of Dark Hollow. See the next post for better directions. Getting lost here is easy.

Sick Sick Sick!!! Great ride, good loops, bomber rock gardens. Get with a local or go and explore on your own, but be prepared to spend time if your unfamiliar with this zone. Many hidden trails that are killer! Some of the best downhill singletrack I have ever ridden. This zone is a must see... My Heckler feels at home on these mountains.
