I had the pleasure of riding some of Jakes and Rimrock this past weekend. Enjoyed both very much! Part of the experience was that hikers were beyond courteous and cooperative. I've never seen anything like it. Many folks even spent time watching our group (8 or 9 of us) attempt various obstacles and climbs at Rimrock, rather than hurrying off or skulking away while giving us dirty looks. I was blown away.
BTW - trails at Jakes look to be built on an entirely different level. If I'm reading the terrain right, it looks like they moved a LOT of dirt and rocks (...BIG rocks! ...and placed them in specific spots!) to make that place what it is. I'll send those people money every year if they keep that up.
Rimrock seemed more natural - which is more my thing - but both systems rocked.
Highlight of the weekend was dropping down Ursus for the first time ever. My mojo musta been woikin, cause I rode it like I'd already been there. So fun! When I rolled into camp folks were like "You look pretty excited." :thumbsup:
