The ridge I climbed up, switchback after switchback |
I had hoped to ride Heartbreak but didnt get started until 2:00 and it took almost 2 hours to climb up to the parkway. Instead of Heartbreak I decided to ride my first fall back but felt lucky I didnt get a flat. There were a lot of briers out there. I had been running my mouth to both Gerhard and Johnny Calhoun about preferring the more remote and technical trails and I sure go what I was asking for today, both on the climb as well as the descent. One helluva work out and a little bit of a gamble to do as a solo and carry only one extra tube. It all worked out well, somebody must be looking out for me.

Good to finally make it to the Parkway |

The trail from the overlook |
The leaves were gone up close to the parkway but still some colors down closer to Curtis Creek.

Newberry Creek right before it drops into Curtis Creek |
