New Years Day Ride
Erinna and I just got in from another excellent ride. Wode carpooled with us and we met up with a big group of folks at N. Mills River campground. We started at 11:45 and rode the classic laurel->pilot loop.
For now, a rollcall:
Eric K, Chris, Mike B, Kassi, Ian B, Nate, Si, Dennis, Wode, Clint S.,Erinna and myself.
map and topo:
19 miles / 4078' of climbing
and a few photos:
Si showed up in style:
After all the rain we had yesterday one would expect N. Mills River to be running high... but I've never seen it like this:
Here's part of the group heading up the 3 mile / 1000' climb to Laurel Mountain trail.

That's a big group! Happy New Year everyone!
There is usually not any water at this rock at all. Today there was a creek running over it.:
