We had a fun weekend in the mtns with the Drawdys and Blakes. The Drawdys gave us a great riding tour of DuPont SF Saturday. Good times! The FTFs (me, Julie, Barbara):  The dudes (Nevin and MD):  Nevin and David let me tag along on a Pisgah ride Sunday while the Drawdys rode DuPont and Julie took the kids to the waterfalls. We did the Laurel Mountain trail down Pilot Rock. It was fun but for me, at my skill level, it was about a 50/50 hike-a-bike. Would honestly love to backpack at Pisgah but not so sure about riding there unless it is on gravel roads. No complaints though. Missed out on paddling Jocassee with the Drawdys on Monday due to rain but there's plenty of time for that....Need to spend at least a week up there next time! |

The first time I rode there (I was by myself), it felt like I spent more time looking at my map then riding my bike. Still a great place to ride, but it is WAY better when going with someone who knows the trails! |

Nitro's right, you will be looking at a map a lot. Luckily, I had the Drawdys, my personal GPS. ;o) John, you're gonna love it! The trails are banked beautifully...it's a hoot! Post up some pics when you get home.

A lot of work has gone on since the last time we rode some of the trails. The Reasonover Trail has some reroutes, and on Sunday we rode down the Ridgeline Trail! They took it off the double track and basically built a whole new singletrack section. The whole weekend was a lot of fun!

What a crew! Looks like you had your hands full there! I could handle them on the climbs. The downhills were a different matter though.  |
