I've been adding mountain biking (minus the mountain...) to my routine since early spring. I live next to an abandoned railroad bed that is currently being converted to a Rails to Trails. It's been a good training spot because even though it lacks many hills and valleys, it's pretty rough and rugged in a lot of spots. I can especially appreciate the "taking a branch in the head" issue. After that happened one time, I made sure to never forget my helmet! I haven't tried anything as challenging as the trail you mentioned, but I would love to check it out. Maybe I'll make it over there to Burchfield before the snow flies.
