Any of you interested in some pain and suffering with a view, the Terrapin Mountain Predicament 2, a part of the Virginia Endurance Series is this Sunday at 9 AM. This is one of my favorite ride areas and is classic big mountain riding for the East Coast.
Virginia Endurance Series
14, 25, and 41 mile rides are scheduled. The shorter 2 will be at a slow pace. I would expect the 41 mile ride to be at a fast pace. The videos on the above link are pretty accurate depictions of the territory. I would consider these advanced rides technically and you need to be in pretty good physical condition (depending on the route it starts with a 1600 or 2500 foot climb right out of the gate). If you are not feeling it you can turn around and ride downhill to the parking area in the first 8 or 10 miles.
The most up to date info is on Facebook:

I am leading the 25 mile ride that is described below as the Arcadia Up and Over:

It is beautiful and physically demanding old school National Forest mountain biking, no flow trails here.
