I'm not in shape for 5+ hour rides in Pisgah myself. But I am in shape to climb up to Butter and rip it all the way down to Cat gap before April 15. Debating wether or not to gap the small boulder on Cat. Those Cane Creek boys make that look way easier than it is.
I'm not in shape either and managed to pull off that 8-9 hour day of creek swimming from Turkey Pen and then up Laurel; leaving Pilot Rock for when I wanted to jump in the river and end my life. Just gotta get out and do it. Don't forget some sandwiches.
Cat Gap is nutty fast ain't it ?
did that today...and booted the little 4-stair set not long after it...hooted and hollered with joy the whole time. gllad i decided to not wuss out and do the second part of the ride...
That's a fair point. It will be in the seventies here in June...I'll be bitching about 90F, 100% humidity and bugs eating me alive then, thank you very much.
yep...especially when there are no hikers!
I can't remember which is which, exactly, but when we rode with @Dirtrider there was a family squatting conveniently right in one of the big rock piles.
cat is the lower section that puts you in the hatchery parking lot. there is a biggish rock slab you can launch off about 1/4 of the way down...I can't remember which is which, exactly, but when we rode with @Dirtrider there was a family squatting conveniently right in one of the big rock piles.
Or is Cat Gap the stuff lower down, which is pretty much like riding a luge down to the parking lot?
Fun trail(s) either way.
This'n ?
Yup, there's a bridge to the right I believe.Thats right next to the river right? I remember dropping off one rock like that.

Keep in mind, my Pisgah epics are all solo. So I need to have a certain level of fitness in order to be fully self-reliant. Nobody has my back out there.I'm not in shape either and managed to pull off that 8-9 hour day of creek swimming from Turkey Pen and then up Laurel; leaving Pilot Rock for when I wanted to jump in the river and end my life.

Solo in Wilson's ?

Strava boi... I prefer riding for riding, don't need no steenking virtual medal.
So stop it.
I haven't read it, but I've seen it at the theatre a couple of times...
