Thursday Nights at Chimney Rock

[pooriggy]

@pooriggy I'll try to get there at 4:30 to cruise a bit before @jShort arrives.

There is no blue trail to warm up on, The suck that is RV is out and back with a shit ton of climbing in between. We can hang out and smoke a bag of weed while we wait for J.

RV accomplished. I chased @mbruno out and back on a foggy, damp, humid evening. The sweaty rocks were slick as ice .

We need that Pickle dude at Wawayanda to go rogue and build awesome trails at RV. The trails there now are the opposite of awesome.

Round Valley sounds so tranquil and it is, from the water. For mtbing, RV is really vile. This place can be renamed Death Climbs or Hill Repeats.

unfortunately with the work planned at RV, the state will have no interest investing on improvements.
The mid section is my favorite, end up parking at Pickell and do a quick loop using red and yellow. Yellow not much of a trail though.

The problem is you were trying to keep up with Matt.

There's a reason why I haven't been back there since the 90's.

And I tend to enjoy climbing.

Where are we going this week? If CR is wet, I vote LewMo or Nassau. We can do the race loops at lewmo or I could lead a fast flow ride at Nassau.

Either way, it's going to be a fast one, I can feel it.

Where are we going this week?

I'm most likely racing Ramseys on Saturday, I'll probably take the SS to Hartshorne to air it out. I'd do Nassau but I'm kinda sick of driving over a 100 miles in a day. I gotz to pace myself.

Carpool with us.
Just cut back beer intake to 4 on Friday and you'll be able to wake up at 4:30am.

You don't think CR will be dried out by Thursday afternoon?
