I'm with you on the pines. That is some of the best singletrack I have ridden on. Not saying it's *the* best, but it is just my type of singletrack.
Every once in a while I'll head out there and just do the pines 4 or 5 times then run the doubletrack for a while.
Maybe we can hook up for a "pines" run some day...

What do you want to know? I've been all over - Orchard Trail out to Armada, Clinton River Trail to West Bloomfield, Paint Creek to Lake Orion, Polly Ann almost to I-69, Stoney Creek dirt - everywhere...
The dirt trails at Stoney are ok. I ride more road than dirt. I'll take my XC bike out once a week but I'm riding road about 3 times a week. There is a group ride that goes to Stoney on Wednesday nights from Stoney Creek High School. I went once with them last year but they kicked my butt.
If you want someone to go out with to show you around, let me know, I'll pass on my knowledge, but I'm not an expert. I'll ride the Pines all day at Stoney, but I don't like the Roller Coaster.
