Have fun. I've ridden Carvin's Cove once and loved it. The best was watching my boss do an endo into one of the creek crossing...priceless.

Douthat was great this past weekend. We did about 22 miles on Sat/Sun. There's nothing like screaming down Brushy Hollow to put a big grin on your face! I can't wait to get back for the big MORE camping trip in October.

Well, yesterday was great. We ended up doing 32 miles at Carvin's Cove. I think we rode every single trail, atleast that was our intent. Started off climbing buck rutt, then hit the fire road up to gauntlet. There was a nice 2 foot drop on gauntlet that came out of no where while scrweaming down the single track. Made for a nice sudden surprise and some great air to get us pumped up to ride all day. at the bottom of gauntlet we headed over to climb trough and then down hi-dee-ho. Then we headed back up buck rutt up to the top and down stickman to comet. road around all the trails at the bottom and then back up comet and stock man to hit clowns head and a couple other trails. All in all it was a solid 5 hours of riding and a lot of fun. We are just sitting in a coffee shop in lexington right now and about to head over to Douthat to meet up with some people at 10:00. Hopefully some monkeys will show up for the ride.
