Fun, Quick, Hour at Bent Creek
Wode, Mike B and I, along with Mighty Max the dog hit up a quick hour at Bent Creek this evening. We started at Rice Pennacle at nearly 7pm took the trails over to the neighborhood, back over to North Boundary, up to 5 points, down Ingles Field down down down.... and eventually back to the cars. Probably 8-10 miles and 1500 feet of climbing. That's just a guess though...
The ride started at a quick pace up and over to the neighborhood. Mike pointed out the trail to MUM's house and dropped me on the next climb. I had a tough warm-up but that was to be expected because I've been trying to shake a head-cold I've had for a week. Fun little descent then we were at North Boundary. I never choose that route for some reason or another so it had been a long time since I was there. North Boundary is a cool road/trail because you can see the ridge that you're climbing to for a long time before you get there, a rarity for us. The pace had slowed to a fun social pace by the time we hit ingles field gap. Mike's new dog Max was doing excellent. He sure does move faster than you'd expect upon first glance. His tiny little legs can really move! Anyway, we had an excellent descent after that. I followed Mike for the first half and he followed me for the second. I don't know the trail very well so I was excited to rail as fast as I did. The trail was in perfect condition, my tires were hooking up, my rear brake was crapping out, and Wode said thet we took off and were out of sight all the way to the bottom. A turn here, a turn there, and we were back at the cars. Mike R, Jamie R, and Eric C had just finished a ride when we got there. Nice new ride Jamie! Fun after work ride.
No camera, No topo, sorry.
