As Mark rightly says, 1,000 riders in wet conditions would trash the singletrack - and it's not fun anyway when it's like that. If it's baltic, like it was when I took the photos, however, there's scope for a bit of singletrack because it's frozen solid! There will be a mix of trails, depending on conditions.
