I rode Case for the first time last weekend. It is a great place to ride but have your skills ready because you will need them. There are lots of rocks, steep climbs, steep climbs with rocks and stair steps, more rocks, roots, and even a few areas of slick rock. The rocky technical climbs definately seperate the men from the boys. The down hills are screamers. If you want a good chalenge and you're fit then Case is a good ride. Definately not for beginners, unless you want to walk your bike.
