tuesday=clawhammer to buckhorn gap down laurel ridge to the bridge. and back. tons of blowdown, lots of hiking and i flatted and blair broke a spoke, rear derailler, cassette, hanger and bent the rear triangle...at the bridge, so we road all the way back veerry carefully.

wednesday=turkey pen parking lot.
road down to bradley creek trail
laurel creek trail
squirrel gap trail
south mills river

i crossed the river over 18 times. blair took a cut off and i was supposed to take the next one and meet him, but instead thought south mills would be flat and fast so i kept going to the bridge and blair waited over an hour for me, then headed to the car, almost another 30minutes of riding. it was @45degrees and we were both very wet from rain and creek crossing. bad call to split up.

thursday=back to charlotte, road an hour at white water center, it started lightening so we sprinted for the car.

saturday=hour and a half at beaver dam state park in raleigh.

time for some rest days. pmbar in 12 days!

last ride til pisgah!!! 2hr loop as usual. got my waltworks fork today! so i'll be tuning up the bike, putting on some light tubes and the fast traks, all this should drop 1.5lbs from my bike woohooo.

did my 2hr loop in...2hrs. windy today.

got to ride today. wet and cold. really wet. i found the new trail off the backside of the nemba board and guess what, it actually flows. when it's dry it will be pretty fast i think. rode for about 2.45hrs. felt pretty good, but after a couple of seated climbs my legs started to hurt. drank about 48oz heed and 2hammer gels.

biggest road ride to date. 3.20 hours, 49.91 miles...and i'm hurting now!
