Sunday myself and 3 friends headed out for a short 4 hour drag around the woods. The following are a few poor pictures of the ride.

Ride begins by skirting around the base of Pleasant Mtn. You will be up here eventualy.
A few small stream crossings near the base. Amazingly dry, in spite of recant crap weather.

Rest break before the climbs.
Trail looks lost under all the leaves.

The power lines run around the side of the mtn. The route to the top is on the back side. Front side of Pleasant is for descending mostly.
Looking back inland at some other hills.

Lunch spot half way up the back.
Waiting for our group to er.. regroup. I see someone still climbing.
He's almost here.

Anyone tired yet?
I don't know how to use this camera. It's got a little remote control, so the photog can get in frame. Well the rock I set the camera on was a little out of range of said remote. I was running close enough to get in remote range, then run back to sit. I didn't quite make it in time. Everyone got a good laugh out of it.
Jackass.

After the lunch spot it's all tech & scrambley to the peak.

There was a bunch more ugly climbing, but I was busy with the riding. Once on top I busted out the camera again.
The view. Overcast day, but can still see the ocean. Down below us are blueberry fields. If you follow along the right hand edge of the field down to the front edge ( can barely make out a house down there ) that's close to where the ride started.

Lots of open granite to play on up top. I had more pics but it was getting dark, started raining, and the camera didn't have enough battery to use the flash.

looks like you had a good time man
Final pic. It was starting to rain harder, and we began to start going back down hill. Some how the camera came up with enough juice, and my man Mike with good timing on the shutter, to snap me on this little rock drop. Makes me look like I know what I'm doing. 
Looks like a good time!
Yeah, it was a blast. The ride back down in the dark was pure carnage. Glen (who still runs rim brakes had one of the rear brake studs shear off. Half way down with a front v-brake only.
