by myself. the parking lot was full. well, not so full that I couldn't park but there were a whole lot of cars/suv's/trucks there.
I took my cateye odometer/clock thing with me so I could see just how much time it takes to do the various parts. the cateye doesn't work anymore but the clock part works. it's the only watch like item I own....
it took my about 40 minutes to get to the top of the gravel road where the trail starts. about 20 minutes to get down the first trail (preston/rail road?)
about 10 minutest to get to the next trail via the fire road and about 20 minutes to get through that trail.
I never realized how bumpy preston is. I guess I always have someone w/ a full suspension bike riding my as$ the whole way down, I never had time to notice. just pedal pedal pedal. it was much drier then Monday, so that was nice.
even though the parking lot was full, I didn't see too many other riders.
I did see a few coming up the trails and I would stop and say "come on..." but they would always stop themselves and be like "come on, we don't want to slow you down...."
uphill riders are supposed to have the right of way..
although I did get a real nasty look from what looked like a hardcore cross country guy while I was going UP hill on... made me laugh.
y'all missed out.
