Little Bald Mountain
Info
The ride gains approximately 3000 feet on fireroads(15 miles), which some people choose to shuttle. Note that the trail 'downhill' isn't just a roll... there's some sharp short uphills that have to be pedaled or pushed along the way, and exposure that requires some concentration, so save some energy and time for it.
At the top, a mile+/600' detour leads to the top of Little Bald proper. The views from the top are spectacular so it's worth expending the energy at least once to check it out.
