After a long dry summer....

....we have gotten some rain in WNC. Dusty dry has given over to wet tacky soil and slick roots and rocks.
A long climb up clawhammer found us in off and on rain. As we got closer to the top of the mountain we were blanketed in a thick, misty fog that gave a strange "Lord of the Rings" feel to everything. This was the best ride of the summer for me. There's nothing like a good long decent of the wet gnar.......

The Black Mountain parking lot found us unloading in a steady light rain......


A stop on the way up to hit the "campground drop"......


Some rainy day images.......




Black Mountain trail decending out of the fog.....


Riding on black.....






Ahhhhh, Pisgah mud.....

Nice! We had more of the wet riding this year than dry in our area. So It was the dry conditions that made the ride special for us. Sounds like You didn't let it dampen your spirits.
