The trick at Little Bennett is to ride as much trail as possible without repeating anything. That and heading to the Black Hog barbecue joint in Urbana after the ride. This route allows us to enjoy the 2-mile downhill of Rock Oak Run at the beginning (definitely the correct direction) as well as the fine Sidewinder trail at the Hyattstown end (also best in the direction we rode today). The repeated sections -- usually Pine Grove -- were instead a tenth of a mile of the gravel road "Western Piedmont" and another tenth of a mile on Pine Knob, both times in a downhill direction. Yes, we climbed Hard Cider, looped around and 25 minutes later climbed Loggers. But the payoff going west on Tobacco Barn and then the Dark Branch loop followed by Sidewinder was completely worth it. One companion said this might be the best version yet. Third day in a row riding a bike. Legs were maybe a little tired on the sustained longer climbs (them slow-twitches have to be retrained every year). Pretty happy that the contact points did not object. w/Mark, Dan
