N2bikeN just spent 2 weeks in WNC riding with Girlscout and Me. He rode his fly S-works Enduro w/full XTR,Crossmax,brainfade shock.......you get the pic,nice ride.He got in around 150 trail miles and I don't think he repeted the same trail or loop.Here's a trail summary.....
Dupont- Lake Imaging,Grassy Creek,Joanna Mtn,Tarklin,Thomas Cem,Jim Branch,Ridgeline,Burnt Mtn,Big Rock,Cedar Rock, Little River Trail,Larel Ridge,Reasonover Cr,Corn Mill Shoals and more.
Pisgah-Black Mtn,Avery Cr,Clawhammer,Caney Bottom,Farlow Gap,Daniel Ridge Thrift Cove,Sycamore Cove and more.
I watched him go from a really fit rider to a fit good rider on tech trails. He rode most everything I did. Iowa will hold no more challenge for N2. We had a blast the 2 weeks he was here,we rode a lot,bled some,crashed some, laughed and joked a bunch. He even got a couple of rides with my TMCS bike club. Good time, I hated to see him go home. I'll let him fill in the blanks(he would have done this but he's trying to get caught up at work). Here are some pics...

I wish I only lived 160 mile from there I would be there evey weekend if i could. Thanks mtb66 for posting the pics. It was the best mountian biking trip I have done, even over Moab. The trails were great with a lot of good climbs and GREAT descents, it is like on other. Mtb66 and girlscout are awsome to ride with and full of good laughs. I would do the fall ride if it were not for 900 mile drive. I am going to ride Wis the weekend but sure wish I was in pisgah NC.

Yeah it'd be tough to not have a good time with those guys. Great pics of some familiar spots.

66, did you find me any land yet? :)
