a great day...
at mohican. we did the twenty four mile route, and then we headed over to the wilderness for the next nine miles. just an amazing day of riding.
the vicious was out in great form. ben was stomping the pedals on his unit. i really don't know what to say. the ride was epic. that was our goal. the trail flowed really well. the color of the leaves. the fallen pine on the trail. because of these factors, the trail was a little 'loose'. there were a couple of times it felt like tokyo drift going into the turns. there were a couple of times that tree almost met bike/me. ben felt the drift too.
over all i just flowed with the trail. hitting the downhill, and then comes the 'bumps' or the rocks. i just allowed. and it was great. in one section i hit a small rock garden, and didn't hit the brakes. i felt something brush against my foot. i thought it was a rock. quick look down, and i noticed i lost a bottle. nice.
all that riding and no mechanicals. even though i heard a lot of 'pings' off of the tires. the mtn bike gods were smiling on us that day.
here's to a great day in the saddle. thanks.

from the picture and description, that trail seems a lot like what we're riding here in coastal virginia- sounds like a great ride.
the trail really is amazing. the guy i was riding with has riding all over the place, and was saying that each secion reminded him of all these different places. it is very 'un-ohio'.
and from what i understand you've got some great riding over there in virginia...
