Pisgah Forest Ridin'

Looks like weather's turned drop dead gorgeous. You lucky dogs

Sunday a couple of us actually got serious about this scoutin' thing. Thanks B. Curvin an Gaston Gagne! It was another GREAT day in the woods!

Meet up at the Trust Store:









Now that the leaves are off of this it's a lot easier, still steep though!

This was interesting, little saplings crisscrossed under what ever those green things are. Oh an a downed barb wire fence. There's a gap in it somewhere but I couldn't find it.




Tried to find a more big bike friendly route, didn't happen.




Had to push a little deadfall over the side.


Comin' down the other side.


This is going to be a fun loop, can't wait for the Nottarally!

Yes it has, an yes we are!!!
I used to live on a beach an after I moved away I realized how much I had taken it for granted. I try to make a conscious effort not to ever do that here.

I can honestly say I spend more days riding in the mountains then hanging out on our beaches. Doubt Ill ever really miss the beach, now, not being able to ride up there - that's a different deal all together.

I'm driving up Wednesday, if anybody's riding this weekend, LMK!

After lunch we did Hurricane Creek.
Not havin' much luck gettin' these to work.





More later, for now just click on them.

Nice Pic's shane! I hate that I missed this ride!

I did however get to go to Brown for my first ride on a bad ass dirt bike!:eek1

Nice ride! Thanks a bunch for showing me around. Looking forward to the end of the month.

You've seen it all before, an hopefully again soon.
The big question is will you see it on a new "bad ass dirt bike!:eek1"?

It was good to have you along. And I appreciate you following me around while I figured out what I want to do. (Gaston is really a lot faster than I am.) So are you going to come when we do this again?

Hurricane Creek actually had some decent water this time!

Yup, knee deep in one spot for sure.
That might be payback.

Thanks for puttin' those up. Gaston's RR for the day is here.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I won't be able to make it up your way until this summer but I will definitely be asking someone to show me around.
Anyone going to the road runner rally in Maggie valley 6/11-6/14

Back at it again. This time at the Nottarally.
Actually had stuff to do but blew it off an went ridin' instead.

With all the rain we've been havin' I wanted to see how high the water was on Hurricane Creek.

Saturday we gathered in front of the camp store:



:fyyff to all y'all too!

We went up to Ducket Top, then headed to Hurricane.
We ran in to Aarrff an mtngal at our gas stop.


A sea of orange.

We made it down to the last creek crossing:



an things started to go


WRONG:


So since they were already wet they decided to see what was really there.


While the rest of us waited patiently.




No, we're not commin' across, y'all gota come back.


Goin' back to get the bikes.


Right through here, don't want to hit that rock.


Yeah, that one.


Yup, I got that.


Love that smell.
