A note on Mileage
I have included approximate overall mileages but have not listed mileage markers for each turn onto different trails or roads. The reasoning behind this is that I myself do not ride with a bike computer nor do many of the more experienced riders that I know. On extreme rides, bike computers can break off (the last three I owned have) and mileages between computers on different bikes seem to be inconsistent. I have frequently been misled by mileage markers  in most guidebooks. I like to use landmarks, trail descriptions, and a map and compass to determine my location. That being said, as mentioned in the site disclaimer, these directions and maps are for experienced mountain bikers who consistently utilize maps and a compass to determine their location. If you are not comfortable with this method, do not rely on this material.
