Baby Jesus delivered early today and gifted me with a pretty good ride. A little muddy but not too shabby for late December.

went for a ride in the other pisgah. after 6 miles of climb, arrived at the church of his holy shreddyness.
a little further, and entered le bear sanctuary and headed dowwwwwwwn.
all kinda rocky rooty goodness hidden under dem leaves.
harper creek was running high from recent snowmelt and rain. no rock hop path in sight. shoes off!
ballz deep in harper creek. chilly water was chilly.
hike a bike time.
mean sign at the top gave me teh sads. luckily there were creek beers!
awesome day in the woods. low 40s and sunny felt good in the sun, chilly in the shade. i need to ride more.
You still ride glove-less when it is so chilly?
yeah...unless it’s below 40. i actually put on a pair of normal/non winter gloves i brought today when i got to the top of the climb and i swear it made my hands colder. took em off at the bottom of the first descent and was good again.
yessir!
I remember that church. Assuming its the same one..
This reminds me an awful lot of one of the parks in MA I used to ride.Ponds getting frozen.
squeezed out a trail ride and a pump track session in between the rain. 67*. HELLZ YEAH. trails were muddy as fuck but it was great to see people out there riding them. i’ll fix what needs to be fixed next weekend when the rain stops.
TOO MUCH ICE
Nothing a motivated crew of scofflaw delinquents couldn’t clean up...F***ing hell, cool non-official DH spot that I used to ride at when younger looks pretty destroyed. Most trails are blocked and jumps are sketchy because of vandalism by I guess rangers.

That is what we used to do. After I moved away the spot did grow for a while but maybe got too much attention that way. It doesn’t help that it is located really close to town and next to a posh neighborhood.
Not sure what happened to the builders.
The snowmobiling sucks this winter, but still being able to do this at the end of December is alright.
... aaand that's a wrap of 2018. Trails were soft, slow and mysteriously slippery today. Add tired legs and I am glad I've done a little over 7 miles, mostly singletrack.
About 150m higher than where I snapped my chain yesterday... then discovered that my oneup edc chain tool sucks.
I find that, in general, chain tools suck.
Funnily enough, I was there yesterday too, and with a brand new, never been used Park chain tool in my pack; brand new because the pin in the old one snapped a couple of months ago when I needed it on a road trip. I agree with @johnbryanpeters at least when it comes to Park chain tools. Why did I buy another one? Because it was cheap.
Not a fan of that chain tool, as in virtually every multi-tool chain-tool is better with more leverage and longer threaded pin-pusher thing. I have one. Not sure what to do with it.
