There are two well marked routes which keep bikes & walkers well apart: Nova is blue about 4.5 miles through the woods. Super Nova is red. It follows the same route with some extra loops making it just over 5 miles. Keep your eyes open for small diversions off Nova to mini jumps for Super. The only real “red” challenge is right at the end, with four 18 inch rock drops in a row on a downhill that ends in a big berm.
