Yeah I am in agreement, less new country to explore but there will be trails to ride.
***Il Wednesday GMT***

- Start date
I will most likely hit Muskrat Creek solo Sunday, the bottom is sandy (well drained) and the stream crossings shouldn't be too bad depending on snowmelt. Total crap shoot, could get in anywhere from 4 to 12 miles but I will pack some boots incase the snow level prevents riding.
so it turns out the one weekend i get free, and that a bunch of people planned to go to snowshoe, the whole place is closed for a gncc moto race. ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuu.
scrambling for alternate plans....

Go and rip it up. I will likely be south, although if the weather changes I will also change course to the north.
It's now time to select a level of suckage for today's ride. Skinny tire road bike or a quick wheel swap on the hardtail. Locally the Missouri river has just hit flood stage and I will be riding both sides of the river, skinny tire bike has fenders and the hardtail does not...
either one of those have a motor?
I mean, non-human supplemental torque enhancer?
Baileys or Beech?

I'll give you a local update when I hear one.
EDIT: could be HERO DIRT alert by the weekend!

current thinking: maybe rent place near asheville fri/sat nights, drive out to windrock saturday, bailey sunday...beech has a race this weekend
Negative. I took the hartail without swapping wheel sets but did pump them up to 45 psi. I covered 26 miles in a little over 2 hours and saw no flooding anywhere. Flood stage turns out to be a participation trophy for rivers.
I am free Friday if you want to do a mini shuttle before the rain, or sat. After 6
From where you are, mt Creek is probably only a few extra hours.

Oh dang that's more than I thought. Neko has been doing a lot of rad stuff with windrock, definitely a good option.
NICE!
i think i stumbled on one of the SY shows at Maxwell's a few weeks ago but maybe not... i thnk that was on a Tumblr site and might have been a different taper. some good stuff here.
