Gone for a ride

Sean, Darrell, Cameron and I headed down to Charlotte for some riding Friday which found us at Sherman Branch and then up to an old favorite at Poplar Tent

If you have not been to either one I would highly recommend either one.

Sherman Branch was a really cool trail that features lots of small bridges and jumps. They have really made the trail flow well with the terrain that they have out there. I will definitely go back to SB and it cannot come soon enough

I first rode Poplar Tent some 11 years ago and am always glad to get back there. The trail is amazingly tight and twisty and rewards you with lots of fun trail especially Gravity Cavity. The $3 cover at PT is worth every penny and I can't wait to go back.

Signal HIll Praise

Been hearing more and more people getting out to Signal Hill lately. Here is what one rider put on a local forum.

LNSP was closed @ noon today so I decided to head up to signal hill, 10 min away from LNSP. Rode it about 4 years ago I think. HOLY S#$T this place is incredible,not even close to what I remember very very very fun. Good tech section short to medium punchy steep climbs ( i.e capet trail ,goat trail @ wwc ) needless to say I will be replacing a lot of LNSP rides with signal hill, great place to ride and train. I was the only one there! Trail must drain well because only a few slick spots, leaves are coming down but still in good shape. Anyway rode three laps I guess around 5-6 miles per lap If I had to compare it to the trails down south I would say 1/2 Renni 1/2 WWC mixed together with some cool hand built bridges and skinnies this is my new training spot for technical courses and climbing maybe I will use LNSP for recovery rides Cheesy

Thanks Wes and Crew nice trail

Tim has been out working on a new reroute to get us into the "Circuit City" loop which will keep us out of the field that confuses anyone who is new to the trail. I did GPS the trail Tuesday and came up with 3.75 miles for the entire trail. I will re-map it when that is complete and post an official map.

Some GoPro pics

been playing a little more with my GoPro camera and have taken it on the last few rides. Here are some pics from the rides. I am going to play around with more angles and mounting in coming rides, seatpost mount is next!!!
