[edit] Ride Ratings

Easy: A stroll through the park. Slow pace, frequent stops, not too technical. Lots of chit chat. A good date night.
Medium: A good workout, bouts of breathlessness, occasional lactic acid in the thighs, medium pace, technical, you'll break a sweat. Chit chat after you catch your breath.
Difficult: Wear body armor, bring lots of water and your insurance card. If this is your definition of fun you must be a masochist. Hills, logs, cliffs, boulders, streams...all at lightening speed. Too winded to talk. Drenched with sweat. Search and rescue operations begin after the ride.

Required Equipment: Helmet, bug spray, and water

I am soooo fake pre-loading this image so the navigation doesn*t skip while loading the over state.  I know I could use the sliding doors technique to avoid this fate, but I am too lazy.
