Difficult Run trail run 8/4/12 (located near Great Falls, VA)
 
I'm planning on getting there around 10AM and heading all the way down to the Potomac river. Anyone is welcome to join me and I'm flexible on the time.

Here's the trail head where I'm starting:

I've seen this trail when i was out on my mountain bike, and I just got my Wraith kit built, electronics are on order. Until now i didn't know anyone around NOVA got together. I'd be interested in meeting up sometime to see what my Wraith can do. and i'm a total NOOB, so maybe i'll learn a thing or two.. looks like fun!
