\nHey, guys and gals! Coming to visit family next month and hoping to hit the trails some. I’ve ride BLORA in the past but don’t remember it being anything special. Any other recommendations? Bringing the singlespeed hardtail 26er, so no dh action or anything crazy like that on this trip. Thanks for the replies!<\/p>\n
