This route was touted by MTBProject as the OG loop from Chauncey, i.e. a loop on the older, first-created trails in the system. And sure enough, there was lots of hand-built (as opposed to machine-built) stuff and a LOT of overgrowth, though, unlike in MD, it wasn't 100% thorns. The first half was on easier trails with the second half a little bit harder (but not much). Second ride of the day so the legs were starting to object at about Mile 7, when there was a series of short climbs interspersed with multiple short descents. But still quite enjoyable ... except for the part where the original route from MTBP said there was but 500 feet of climbing, which we exceeded in the first 5 miles. The riding companion was NOT amused, but that did fuel his ascent legs. Nothing like anger climbing! Amazing trail system. w/mark
