Haha, we weren't even in the same time zone.. I am an early morning guy..have to be because of my work schedule.  I'm off today and will be out there a little later, probably 11 or so.  Gonna try to ride Main all the way around...twice...its about a 28 mile trip...gotta start getting my lungs.

Wilderness is a lot of fun..if you get a chance, try Palmetto..there is a nice section where you don't need to pedal you just shift your weight and you keep some decent speed.  So far, my favorite trail there is Misery...its fast with a few good root spots but not as harsh as Heartbreak..more like Washboard but not for the entire length of the trail, haha

I'm sure you could do the loop, just set your own pace.  if you stay on main the whole way its not difficult at all.  but yeah, pedals are crucial..
