Chimney Rock, Sunday 12/28
- Thread starter scotth
- Start date
It's supposed to be 43 degrees Sunday morning plus rain overnight tonight. Given the recent weather, I'm not even sure the pavement around Chimney Rock is going to be ok. 
This is a common theme with posted rides these days. Really tough time to be looking to get on the trails. I was on the road in that area today and was surprised how little snow is still on the ground. But I still can't imagine it will be anything but a muddy mess. Maybe someone can chime in with a first hand report.

I was at c-rock today and all the trails are still snow covered. Still alot of fun IMO

Karma sucks - trust me.
I was on the way the Chimney Rock today and got hit head on around one of the curves on Chimney Rock road. The little red fit is no more - totally destroyed and I have a killer case of wiplash. Spent the afternoon in the hospital getting xrays and filing out paper work.
The trail gods laid down the law on me.

Glad you are ok Sean. I guess you've paid the price and can go riding wherever you want for a little while.

Sorry, to totally hijack the thread. Yep, I'm fine, everything checked out. I went to the hospital because of my previous history of spinal injuries and just wanted to be sure it was just a bad case of wiplash. I got some pain meds and should be fine in a week.
If I were on the road bike I would have been road kill. The guy never made the corner, he just plowed straight across. Amazingly that little car kept me safe even though it is destroyed. As always with doctors and EMTs, they were great and you always get "its good that your in shape or else you would be seriously hurt". Fitness saves lives! - Hopefully I'll be back on the trails next weekend.
