wow. it's 8* at my house...i don't even want to go out to my car.
Chimney Rock lunch rides
- Thread starter Maurice
- Start date
I'm surprised no one showed up 
Oh well, I'm riding tomorrow again, hopefully it remains cold.
The tube of my camelback froze solid maybe 15 minutes into the ride. I did get to hit the jumps I spotted. Not bad, can't carry much momentum into them though. There were some tracks into it, so someone else hit it. That and the log ride, but apparently whoever rode it messed it a bit. I had surprisingly good traction and managed to keep the rubber down.
Badly chapped lips is what I got now though...
Cheers,
Maurice

Rode there yesterday & it was 17 degrees when we started & 18 when we finished. What a great ride we had. Trails had about an inch of snow on them & believe it or not none of us were even cold. Today was a little colder & I probably would have wussed out if I had riding plans.
On the blue side, coming from the top on the trail that ends up parallel to the road. There is an area with big boulders, a 4 ft jump (don't think you can roll that one...) and a couple 3ft. There potential for more air in that general area but the landing areas don't look too smooth.
The log ride in the middle trail also involves jumping off of it since it doesn't go anywhere.
I'm sure there's more stuff. The old quarry (white?) is nice but it usually doesn't flow well in my work-outs.

when are you riding? Does friday morning work well for one to tag along?
Pretty much every day when I'm not commuting by bike. Friday looks good. It would have to be either early (7:30-8:00) or after 11:30 AM. Early would probably be best as when the temps move up all the snow is going to make a mess.
