Good luck with Crabtree!! I'm going tonight - I'll be thinking about you!

Neat! When were you there? We started around 5:10 and rode until about 6:20. We did all the trails at least once. At one point there were a bunch of riders crowded at the top of a pretty good hill where to the left is a multi-log jump, and to the right is a couple of rooty ledges. Two women got stopped going up and had to get going on the hill again. Were you one of them? If so, I was the woman up top with all the guys (waiting my turn to go down - my friend had already gone). I saw a couple of other gals riding with guys, but it was mostly guys out there, so I might have seen you!

Hope you had a good ride!

we didn't get riding til after 6. Slow group to get moving It was 2 girls and her man. We saw the huge group, I think but we saw them on the wide jeep road parts. I probably did see you there Glad you had fun!! My little nephew finally learned how to ride a bike with out training wheels...he called to tell me and said "it's almost like playing now!" That's what I think about when a trail is kicking my butt! ha!!

Where are the wide jeep road parts? Are you talking about Umstead instead of Crabtree? As far as I know, Crabtree is all single track (and paved roads). Umstead, which I've ridden many times, has got fire roads and a nice double track (Turkey Run) trail, which I can ride fine. That's where I was riding this summer before I "graduated" to Crabtree! You can access the fire roads at Umstead from the lake trail at Crabtree, so maybe you were on that part before hitting the Crabtree trails??

Glad you had a fun ride. Too bad it's starting to get dark so much earlier. Fall is here....
