oooooooooh, That's good sufferin'
Another ride, another chance to use adjectives like 'great', 'awesome', 'challenging', and 'incredible'. The rally time was 8AM at my house and Kris K., Jody F., Mike B, and I hit the trail at 9:15. The route for the day: From Yellow Gap->Laurel->Pilot->1206->S. Mills River Rd->5018->Horse Cove->Squirrel Gap->Laurel Creek->Bradley Creek->5015 back to Yellow Gap.
Time out: 6 freaking hours. Distance: 25.4 miles. Gain: 6711'.
In case those numbers don't add up for you, We were on very very technical trails.... and never ending gravel/grassy roads of uphill death.
For now a bunch of photos:
Wet and slick tech section on Laurel.... best to walk it today:
Kris on Pilot:
Winter in Pisgah:
Mike B in a Rhodo tunnel:
There is very little color out there right now other than mosses and evergreens:
More Winter in Pisgah:
Everyone 'rocked' the HumVee section:
Thanks for coming out / getting me out guys! Great ride!
