Thread: WooHOO!

T-minus 45 minutes and I'm outta here, one more roadtrip before the seasonal closer. Packing up and heading south to ride this gnarly little ridge in WV.

Taking it as far as the eye can see:


Will have pics on Monday, unless I drop the camera off a 150' cliff like last time.

The Ride: Gnarly North Fork Mtn

Beta: 65mile loop. Camp at Big Bend, cruise out the Smokehole Canyon w/ the rising sun, climb Rt 33, turn right on top of North Fork Mtn, 3hr spin. Roll the ridge for the next 5.5 hours w/ some scenic view snack stops then enjoy the gnarly sweet final downhill back into the Smokehole. Finish w/ a 2hr slumfest over a couple of hurtful rollers back to camp. Ridge was sick, plenty of techy WV rocky love and insane views. Leaves were psychadelic, my photo skills don't do justice......

Very nice! I desperately need to do some rides in the EP. I did a bunch of research in that area, and always wished I had my bike with me when I was there.

Delightful.

I haven't ridden much east of CV- looks like I'm going to have to check out Grant County one of these days! Great stuff, mang!

Awesome pics dude.

Now that's some sweet riding, my friend. The views aren't bad either.

Nice....
