Trail Gnome (tallahasseetrails) > My Friday meanderings from home base through East Fern Trail's Bog Loop, to Higher Ground's new MTB shop (top left), to Magnolia Trail, onto the FSC #4 course in the west field at #34, lap and a quarter, exit onto paved Goose Pond Trail, back to Higher Ground via Fern Connector, then home via Bog Loop's east side.
Trail Gnome (tallahasseetrails) > Google Earth jpeg grab of the 2008 Tally course. From this GPS track: http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/6952119 The course is essentially unchanged from 2007. (Between the start and Conner Creek includes the major revision. Just follow the arrows, eh?) A simple pre-ride will clear up the very minor revisions. It includes Tom Brown Park's Magnolia Trail (minus the K-9 Loop's "highside") and BMX Track, most of West ("Lower") Cadillac Trail, and most of the west section of Lafayette Heritage multiuse trail. All of this is located on the east side of Tallahassee. We are east of US 319, south of US 90, and north of US 27. The bodies of water visible are Weems Pond (upper left corner) and Upper Lake Lafayette (across the top).
Trail Gnome (tallahasseetrails) > (Old map from 2006.) LINCOLN XC COURSE NORTH is to the LEFT. Aerial view from Google Earth. If you look carefully, you might notice I've used different shapes for the dots designating the Start to 1M, 1M to 2M, 2M to 3M, and 3M to the 5k finish. I DO NOT recommend using spikes on this course! Too much asphalt. Spectators traditionally head into the woods after the kids head up the road after 800m. There's a great view of the racers as they pass the halfway point at 2.5k. Then, back out of the woods to the 2M and then the finish by the big pavilion.

Trail Gnome (tallahasseetrails) > MACLAY HOME XC COURSE: Fast new course, initially run at the 7 Oct 2005 meet. Start at east end of soccer field, run diagonally across soccer practice field through gap in the woods, run ~0.85M loop 3X, then exit the loop back toward track, clockwise around track to finish. I'm could repost this map w/slightly revised mile/kilometer marks. But they're very close. Congrats to AP for a sweet ~19:29, with a breakaway at 2k. AP's splits: Miles 6:13/12:30(6:17)/18:52(6:22) Kms 3:46/7:45(3:59)/11:36(3:51)/15:xx/19:29 NOTE: MS 1.5M starts ~even with main start, but on the track facing east. They'll run ~220m on the track, then follow regular course for ONE lap, return like 5k, but finish parallel on the grass.
