Rocky Gap is the race course all there is?

[DKEG]

The only online info I have found about Rocky Gap is the 7 mile race loop. Is that all there is up there. I need to be there this Thursday and I want a little more trail. Anyone know if there is more? Anyone have a GPX file of the trails?

I don't have a gpx track, but:

Once you get to the top of Evit's Revenge, stay to the left and you can follow the doubletrack for another 1.5-2 miles of steady climbing up past Evit's Homesite and the Aerial Antenna. Trail ends in a clearing underneath some power lines w/ nice views...then fly back down the mountain the way you came (or walk down the gas line to the group camps, which is not very fun, defintely not rideable)

Also, if you follow the road from the Lodge up to the damn, there is a trailhead about 100m on the left side before you make the 90 degree right turn (near the aviary). You can follow that for a few miles, it ends up near the intersection of 40 and Rocky Gap road. There are some side offshoots on that trail but I've never taken them. Rocky Gap road back to Old Hancock is an all uphill road climb if you got back that way, and Old Hancock is a dirt road until you get back to the road in the park.

There is supposedly some singeltrack north of the Rocky Gap/Old Hancock intersection, but I've never ridden it personally. I've done all of the above as part of the EX2 adventure races they hold there.
