The Big Nasty

The ride today had all the elements of a great day, no matter what you're doing... Great friends, Great weather, Great scenery, Hard work, Hard play, Laughs, Applause, Cussing, Sweating, and when it was all said and done, a since of accomplishment. We had completed.... Something many folks aren't able to do. Ian 'The Pony' L., Ian B., Mike B., Wes, and I rode some of the very best trails in Pisgah today... The Big Nasty.... From the PMBAR start/finish->Black Mountain alllllllll the way up and around to Club Gap->Buckwhat Knob->Bennett Gap->477->276


13 miles, 4790' of climbing. (!!!)

Not a bad Sunday afternoon....

1 - I am going to be in pisgah this weekend and was planning to ride this route you mentioned, except going clockwise. Which way would you suggest to someone not from the area? Thanks. Jimmy (Comment this)

2 - Ummm.... Counter clockways..... for sure. Black Mountain is a killer going up but once you pass Buckhorn Gap it's more down than up. Very very fun down, too. If you want to bypass the hard part of black just take Clawhammer Road up to Buckhorn.

What software do you use for maps and elevation?
