Mountain Biking - Photos from central NC

This past sunday, six of us started out at Gastro’s house and pedaled a few miles to the trail head of owls roost. Owls roost is a 5-6 mile long trail at Bur-Mil Park in Greensboro, which is one of many killer trails north of town. This is not really meant to be much of a trail/ride report, just an intro to a bunch of photos.

For these, I used a Nikon D70s, an 18-70mm DX lens and a SB600 flash.

as always.....great pics highrevs.

That's a nice camera... Do you have a case that you carry it in or just throw it in your camelbak?

I have a large Kona pack with an internal frame that I stuff my gear in. I usually just wrap my camera in something soft. Not the most ideal situation, but it works for now.

those trails look very fun. nics photos!

I cannot wait to make my "pilgrimage" of sorts out to NC

Killer shots.

Looks like you have some very cool trails to work with down there. Cmon October! :)

Owls Roost trail is posted as 5.7 miles of singletrack end to end, linked by a paved greenway, although it's definitely worth riding both ways. You can also add the Big and Little loops as shown here (http://www.ridemap.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=19). (the labeling of the map is not good, but the trails are shown accurately)

Gastro and I took these this evening on said little loop trail. :D

Sweet Pics! I usually bring my little digital on the trails...already broke one, and not brave enough to bring a badboy camera out there...yet.

Thanks man. Yeah, when I carry the camera gear on the trails, it is more about the photos than the riding. When I go to ride, the camera gear stays at home.
