I think you should enter with Chain. He has more experience and knows what to do as well as is a lot safer to ride on risky trails. I have always wanted to go, so don't let it pass you by. I would wait with Ruby, practice her more with scary things like plastic bags and tarps. Trails can be scary and you may be riding at night, you don't want her to spook, you fall off, and her get lost in an unfamilar area. That is just my opinion.
