I road myself sick at Highland Rec Area

Cool video! I've done the entire trail system once as well (on my 42nd birthday this year) and it is quite the cardio challenge! One tip I can give you for long distance rides is Gatorade "Gatorlytes"....my triathlete buddy recommended them to me to stop the muscle cramps. Looking forward to the next video, God bless!

I certainly was not prepared. I didn't have enough fluids with me or enough time. I had to push myself more than I wanted and I didn't have any fuel haha. Glad I wasn't the only one who struggled lol!

True old school single track. There is a "Highland Challenge" of 6 full loops for about 100 miles. INSANE.

Just realized I never replied to you 8 months ago lol... but holy cow, that's a lot of miles on a challenging trail system. That sounds ridiculous! I still have to conquer my first 50 mile mountain bike ride haha.

I rode torn shirt for the first time about 3 weeks ago and it was super techy, the tree root decents are beyond gnarly in a lot of spots. I have rode Highland rec in about 30 years ( on a Cannondale super v 900, I have a pivot 5.5 now. )

OTW! Do you live near Jackson? I do!

Trail anxiety is not fun. That trail is the knarliest one followed by Torn Shirt. Torn shirt would win if it had the same distance.
