You need to chase traffic or race someone to make road workouts fun.

I don't know what decide means in my life, but when V and I were last there in 2014, we intended to do Clawhammer/Black Mountain.

Clawhammer is a long ass gravel climb to it's end at Buckhorn Gap. Average time is about an hour. Upper Black Mountain is some true Pisgah gnar at it's finest. The hike a bike section that everyone talks/bitches about requires a grin and bare it attitude, because there is a lot of hiking, a lot. Once to the top the views are well worth it. The descent is rough with countless ruts, surreal root clusters, and even a few rocks. The last part is some new age flow-easy™ nonsense that doesn't resemble anything you just rode. It is however a welcomed break from the previous beating. A Pisgah classic.

I hope to do that after burying uncle Charlie and his daughter Rebecca.

Oh wow, I had no idea. My condolences.

Yeah, I should. My experience on the road is that I wind up passing all these friends, new and old, and manage to stop to visit few. Today I visited my MOL and brought her some goodies, then managed to get here as they were closing the office and it was getting dark and I was getting fried. Drivers on I287 are fucking nuts. That said, it has been a good trip so far.

Just another pin on the map and driveway to park a trailer.

Some idiot from my neighborhood thought it'd be a good idea to drive his ~5 year old kid onto the non-motorized vehicle-only Sand Creek Greenway in a golf cart this afternoon. I asked him what he was doing there and he pointed to his kid. After saying it was a trail for non-motorized vehicles he said "but this has a battery, no motor!"

Uh, no.

did you tell him to keep his ebike at home too?

I have done the Clawhammer climb twice, and have done the lower section of Black Mountain. Now I want to complete the job.
