Just wanted to let y'all know that Sir Bikesalot was at FATS yesterday making a video that will be posted on his website in the next week or two. I actually got the priviledge to star in the video since they asked me at the trailhead how to get to Big Rock and Tower. I did not have any more FATS maps with me since I had given the only map I had with me to another Florida guy from Daytona Beach at 9:30 AM so I just led them out down Deep Step over to Big Rock so look for me in the video (the ONLY ONE wearing the requisite ORANGE VEST).

BTW, where were all the CSRA guys yesterday; when I left the trailhead there were only 2 Florida and 3 North Carolina license plates in the parking lot!

I was there later in the day. Many SC and GA plates in the lot. Heard from one guy that they were there was a group with helmet cams filming over at BR and Tower but only had an hour to ride.

I went out to ride. Decided to add some air to my fork in the parking lot and the valve stuck...it wouldn't hold air. Didn't have any tools to fix it on hand, had to come home. Super bummed.

From now on I am going to bring a stack of spare maps with me. Every time I am there people are asking me about the new trails. Friday I did 57 miles - it was a blast except I rode Tower and Big Rock CW for the first time - nearly kicked my behind! I always forget how much work they are as I originally planned to do them both in each direction but nixed that after the first time and did another loop of Deep Step and Great Wall instead.

i go to the sirbikesalot site a lot and i've seen pictures of his helmet cam setup (which looks extremely heavy). I saw them at the south trailhead and i knew i recognized that crazy helmet but i didn't say anything to them. they were taking off right as i was trying to get all my crap together.
