What's Happening This Weekend 10/15-10/16-ish

[rottin']

It's Wednesday---time to look at things to do this weekend if you haven't yet...What's your playground going to be this weekend? Come ride with us at 6 Mile Run on Saturday...then build some sweet new trail at Ringwood on Sunday. Go ride some of the new reroutes we did at Chimney Rock last weekend. Do a CX race. Come and help me start to rake my leaves.

After watching the latest Danny Mac video below I wonder what it must be like to think that everything you see around you is just a big playground---





As always, let me know anything that's missing locally and we will post it up...I feel like I'm missing something. What are YOU doing this weekend? Yes, I mean you...You know who you are...

No - I was hoping to do it, but I'm on vacation starting tomorrow and I'm heading out on a road trip to camp and hit a few of the big trail systems to the west (Rothrock for the Trail Mix course and Cooper's Gap, Allegrippis, Michaux and then I'll figure out if I want to head south to do Patapsco or head northeast to do RC.)

Yes we will. I was talking to him last week and he was getting ready to head over to the Pines after the rain celared out on Sunday. His Chiner bike was broken so he was going to bring his SS. It's geared 44:16 or something right now. That just made me laugh. Even Wharton would hurt on that gear!
