The past three days have been well worth the PAIN! Beautiful February weather prompted two long days in the woods, a B-day celebration, and a nice recovery ride in the Foothills of the Smokies. Saturday, Jen bagged the Snake and opted for a 3+ hour Team Ed ride @ the Coon. We had amazing weather, almost perfect trail conditions, and ended w/ a gymnastics B-day party for our niece Annie. We got home late and crashed b/c the alarm was going off way early for a BIG day!
The wheels were set in motion mid-week for a Sunday trip to Pisgah. We met the gang for Cracker Barrel, once fueled and coffeed up, we headed across the mountains. With no specific ride in mind we ended up @ the Fish Hatchery. Having just been there Monday, I was still amped to ride the seasonal trails b/c they're just to die for. G$, the Hammer, Team Ed, Harkleroadster, and Doug had joined Jen and I for a romp through the forest.
Another 3+ hour day in PNF, a butt load of climbing, killer descents, and just a ton 'o FUN w/ good friends!
Monday, the plan was a chill recovery spin in the foothills w/ Wally. We drove in to Walland and rode the CLOSED section of the parkway. I had never done it and couldn't believe that's been under my nose this long??? If you haven't...you need to!!! Spectacular views, long gradual climbs, and 18 miles round trip= just what the doctor ordered. I could not have asked for a better 3 days in February!
For those of you in the Know...we're in: May 2nd!!!
