Black Bear is not technically hard or difficult. It does give the "oh sheet, oh wow" factor the first time you go down from the top towards Telluride. Lots of switchbacks and the edge of the world view are attention grabbers.
Yeah, whether a trail is "hard" or "easy" is too subjective. If you have vertigo or acro/agro-phobia, black bear is probably impossible.
I grew up here, I've ridden and driven black bear numerous times and I think the altitude does something to your eyeballs. Even if you don't think you have a fear of heights (I used to climb sailboat masts for a living), don't be surprised to feel your heart beating like it's playing YYZ when you slide a little on three wheels at a switch back. Just take it as part of the fun!

We have not been in the habit of scheduling trail rides before the Invasion starts. The best bet is to show up at 47D each evening with a beer or two (beginning Tuesday) and ask what trails are being run the next day.

I have not yet. Who ever wants the spot please let me know and I'll give the KOA a call this week and swap over the information.

Take it up directly with him.
Nickormatt, what site do you currently have?
I was going to reserve 47D and figured as things shuffle as we get closer someone would want it.
