Good to see some people giving the east side some love. Was always difficult to get a group to NOT start at Kelly's Pond. Only reason to consistently go to KP is if you camp. Lots of people forgetting that the east side has good trails too. Gotta keep the paths beaten down also because if they grow over, there's risk of them getting shut down rather than remedied.
I enjoyed the riding on the east side. I had only been there once before and usually gravitated to the KP, 208 TH etc. Fern was a good trail. Some of the slower tight turns were fun on the big bike just to work on balance.
