Hey everybody, welcome to the single tracks podcast. My name is Jeff and today Aaron and Greg and I are

going to talk about mountain bike trail difficulties. So when mountain bikers talk about trail

difficulties, really they're talking about two different things, physical difficulty and technical difficulty. And this is,

a lot of times people blur the two things together, which makes sense if you're talking to

a beginner writer. They don't really care if a trail is technically difficult or physically

difficult. But we thought it would be interesting to talk about the differences and what goes

into those ratings and talk about some ways that those ratings can be slightly more objective and less subjective.

So I want to start by asking you guys, what does it mean for a trail to be physically difficult?

I think in the most general term, we're talking about physical

difficulty. You're talking about something that's going to be aerobically taxing. So, you know,

it's something that's going to leave you out of breath or leave your legs burning. So yeah,

you've got to be in shape. Yeah, basically. When we're talking about beginners, lots of times

trails that are physically difficult, they're talking about beginners, lots of times trails that are

physically difficult, they're still achievable, say for somebody who does like other sports

a lot, like runs or does something of that nature. Yeah, absolutely. So what are some of the factors that

make a trail physically difficult? Length can definitely be one because even an easy trail can be physically difficult if

it's long enough, you know, to use an example of a trail that we have around here, Fort

Yargo here in Georgia.

You know, there's not much climbing if you took any section of that trail as by itself.
