Ramblin' On...

I finished off the weekend back home in the Wilson Creek Wilderness Area aka Pisgah NE for 37 miles and 9,821' elevation gain day.

Three consecutive days of riding has yielded 103 miles of MTB bliss and 28,019' of MTB suffering. Every foot of the 28,019' of climbing I have done in the last couple of days were worth it considering the amazing trails I have been riding complete with some of the best downhill anywhere. Today it was back over to Pisgah NE aka Wilson Creek Wilderness. I planned to meet Johnny Calhoun, BrothaMan Bob and Sarah at the top of Raspberry at about 11:30 so I parked at Shady Point and started my 7 mile climb.They brought some friends who are some of my new friends and we dropped down Raspberry Ridge...

Sarah and Bob caught me at the top of Gingercake taking pics.

It was good to be riding with these 2 again, it has been far too long.
