点评:This was my first time mountain biking in the DuPont/Piscah area and decided on a guided tour and bike rental for the convenience. The Bike Farm had the best rates. The website allowed for describing my skill level and the guide (forgot his name) gave me two options for the type of riding, Piscah vs. DuPont. Based on the description, I picked DuPont.
The guide started the ride at a modest pace, but picked up the pace based on my feedback that I could go faster. The guide did a good job of adjusting the speed based on how well I was keeping up.
The trail selection was very good. There was one part of transiting on a gravel road, that seemed a little long, but I’m assuming was necessary to get to the best trails. The tour ended on a long downhill that was possibly the most fun trail I have every ridden.
Overall, the tour was just short of 15 miles, which was about 85% of my max comfortable distance at bout 90% of my max comfortable speed, which was in line with my expectations.
If I chose to do another guided tour in the area, I would definitely go back to The Bike Farm. I would go for the Piscah option and push the base just a little bit.
The bike I rented was a Yeti SB120, which worked very well for my riding pace and style. It was in very good working order such that I never though of the bike during the ride.
翻译:这是我第一次在杜邦/皮斯卡地区骑山地自行车,为了方便,我决定参加导览游并租借自行车。Bike Farm 的价格最优惠。网站允许我描述自己的技术水平,导游(我忘了名字)给了我两种骑行方式:皮斯卡和杜邦。根据描述,我选择了杜邦。
导游一开始的速度很适中,但根据我的反馈,我可以骑得更快,于是加快了速度。导游根据我的跟车情况调整了速度,做得很好。
路线选择非常好。有一段路是在碎石路上行驶,感觉有点长,但我想这是到达最佳路线的必要条件。旅程以一段长长的下坡结束,这可能是我骑过的最有趣的路线。
总的来说,这次骑行不到 15 英里,大约是我最大舒适距离的 85%,速度大约是我最大舒适速度的 90%,这符合我的预期。
如果我再去这个地区参加一次导览游,我一定会回到The Bike Farm。我会选择Piscah的方案,稍微推一下底座。
我租的自行车是Yeti SB120,非常适合我的骑行节奏和风格。它状态非常好,以至于我在骑行过程中完全没有想到自行车的存在。
