E.T. around the various FATS trails (or others for that matter) Forum is slow lately and I thought this would be a good topic for people to see what others are doing and develop a measuring stick for themselves. I've seen this come up before, but I want to ask the question differently. I don't want to know what your pedal to the metal personal best is; but what is your typical time? That gives some of us slowpokes an idea of where our riding speed is and maybe a little hope and motivation to improve. (or maybe despair and discouragement..... ;D)

I did Keg Creek in 1hr 4min 38sec Saturday. Felt like I was cruising at a good pace but also felt like I did not go all out.

This past Saturday me, Stacey, and Marco (considerately riding at our pace  ) rode Great Wall clockwise and I think that took about an 1 hour 15 mins (thats with a short stop to move a fallen tree). Took a short snack break then we did Skinny clockwise and that was about 45 mins. Man what a great day. It was GORGEOUS! |

I used to keep a log of all my rides...haven't in a long time though.
I remember I used to do Skinny + Brown Wave in 1hr 20ish minutes I think it was.
I know for sure I'm usually right at 2hrs for Deep Step/Big Rock/Tower.

I used to ride the four old loops at FATS in about 2.5 hours.
Like Dustin, DS, BR and T in under 2 hours. From the house, DS, BR, T was usually 2:15.

I could probably push harder but Ive been riding alone a lot and Im scared of getting hurt or getting gased too early. New Bartrams just pwns me though. My fastest New Bartrams time is 2 hours. I cant seem to get under that. The more I ride New Bartrams, the more I start to dislike it.  |

New Bartrams i ride in about 2 1/2 hours. Wow, that's pretty fast. Petersburg to Washington Rd. then back to Petersburg takes me just under 3.5 hours. I think it took the guys attempting the Thurmond Epic 1.0 about 1.5 hours for the Petersburg to Washington Rd. leg (i.e., one way). Good for you man. |

peterburg to wildwood. wildwood back to petersburg. Is there a landmark at the Wildwood boundary? Is it the last bridge (#10, I think)? when I hit the road I usually take a break and turn around. I know if you take a right and follow the road down it leads to a campground. Its usually 18 miles by my computer. 9 miles in and 9 miles out. |

Here's a few that I have tracked this year: All FATS stuff is from the parking lot. Skinny: 41 DS: 33 GW: 49 Four lower loops: 2:41 Upper Sk, BW, Upper Sk: 59 Upper Sk, BW, Lower Sk: 1:11 DS, GW: 1:19 BR, T: 53 Horn is typically always around 34 Don't really know about HKSP since I always start at the campground, but roughly 50 from site 17. Tracked a couple of the rides this summer in hundred degree temps. That'll drop your speed a bit  Oh yeah, WDam to P'Burg and back, no loops: 61 MD |

did a loop of Keg creek in each direction today. Just a nice average pace no pushing it. CCW 51 minutes, CW 1:07. On the CW loop my seat broke, one of the rails snapped just were it comes out of the clamp, so I loosened it up and slid the broken section into the clamp and tightened it up. held together . The forest floor is a complete brown out went off the trail a few times. Perfect riding temp, and its just beautiful out there right now!!! |

Kind of off the subject but there are a lot of sizable limbs down all over the place, has anyone ever been hit with a falling limb that we know about??
