sweet, im off on friday also if it becomes a total washout on sunday, maybe friday??
Friday is a possibility actually. I took vacation days thurs & fri this week. Im picking up my AM bike up in Asheville tomorrow, then meeting up with Kenan to ride up in the Bent Creek area. So I'd definitely consider riding friday as well. Depends on who's driving though, cause I already have a ride planned Saturday, and I cant drive my truck up there 3 times in one weekend.....

Jeff what did you end up getting? I will talk things over with the wife and see what day works better Sat or Sun. I would like to ride up there!!! Maybe bring the DH bike.
08 Specialized Pitch Pro on closeout. Already got Sunline bars, grips and stem to put on tomorrow. We'll be doing a long one on Saturday, so you might wanna bring the trail bike if you come up that day.

Are you for reals? Call me if you go Sunday.
I am in for Sunday. Baby sitter is lined up, just need an idea of routes or more importantly when we will be done so I can give the sitter an idea of when I will be back.


Anyone for the Charlotte area want to carpool? Ben, you still in the area?

hey ripper is your truck gonna be big enough, i think derrick, jonny, and collin are all single ring so we will probably just be shuttleing headly unless someone else has a big ring friendley option. i would like to get there by ten. start chiming in boys..

Smaller chain ring and some pushing. :lighten:

I in ****ty shape but want to ride more than Headly. Would like to ride Rasberry or Greentown to Beehive along with Headly. Or something new or what ever the general consensus is. Starting time of ten sounds good.

I have no idea where I am
I want to ride more than just one short trail over and over.

I too am without a granny gear option and out of shape, but have no problems walking. Hell I'm actually quite grateful to be able to walk.

Wilson's has some of the best DH in WNC, but you have to earn it and I ain't too proud to do a little pushing.

My suggestions :

Raspberry to Greentown to Beehive

Greentown to Beehive then shuttle Headly a few times

Sounds painful but is a **** load of fun!!! Ain't not shame in pushing though. I will push myself at times.

Greentown to Beehive is definitely doable on a downhill bike, albeit not fun. Scotty P and I rode this today and he rode his v10. Next time I do it I will probably ride my Sunday for some fun downhill.

How about 10? The extra hour of sleep would be appreciated before a ride like this. Specially if we ride Rasberry.
 
I may be out guys......gotta get home by 6pm, which means leaving dirtmounds by 4pm. If we are doing Rasb-GT-beehive and setting shuttles up, possibly having a repair on the trail etc., and not getting to the DM until 10am means we won't be riding until after 11am.

...not that bad on a DH bike. I usually ride my slalom bike out there, but on that run the climb is so easy that its worth it to take the DHR.

Well I got to be home by 6 also. Let's get something set up so we can get this done. What ever the consensus is I will go with.

Jonny, do you have full crew you are riding with? Looking to find some one to carpool with.

How about a consensus.... 9.30am at the dirtmounds? I def want to do Rasp, Gt, beehive... and headley as time permits.

Just about everytime I've ridden up there I've been back to charlotte by 6pm and that's without even trying.

Salami- Pshyco, me and jonny are all in or around clt so we'll work out a car pool. IM me and we'll work it out.
