I wish I could get out there early enough to do that before the forum ride. I will be staying out there for 8 days starting with the forum ride, though, so I'll definitely get some good rides in. In the mean time, I'm riding the hardest trail here just about every other day. I've just got to be careful. Took a collar bone shot yesterday. It would suck to get hurt before the trip. Looks like you had an awesome trip. I can't wait. Biking, kayaking, or whatever, WNC is such an awesome place.
