Description and Review
AEP is a challenging 9 mile ride with over 1,000 feet of climbing and many technical sections requiring good bike handling skills. There are very few man-made obstacles and any bridges are easy to cross. The singletrack trail is easy to follow. There is one point where the trail empties on to a road and the rider must re-enter the trail about 100 yards further south, it is easy to miss, so bring a map.
There is very little cell phone coverage in the area, so plan ahead and pack accordingly. Riding alone is not advised.
Difficulty Level
Very Difficult, many downhill sections are steep and rocky. Climbs are also steep requiring good physical conditioning. Some parts of the trail are next to high cliffs.
