We finally heard that he tried Crabtree - he didn't like it at all! Same issues. Switchbacks on steap hills, roots, all the stuff everyone else struggles with!! Now he's hooked on Crabtree though :) At least he has two trails now!!! :)

Oh, that does make me feel better! The friend I ride with had a difficult time with Crabtree at first too. She said on about her 6th ride there, it all finally started coming together. Since I've only managed to get there once, I have a ways to go....but she gives me hope that I can also get comfortable with it.

But has all this rain helped your water sports??

Oh yes! Last year this time it was hard to find enough water to go kayaking in; this year is great! And I like that everything is green!
