Headed up to Pisgah to meet up with Sethboarder, SKISC and several of SKISC's peeps for some Mtbiking over the weekend. This was going to be a shuttle ride, in other words little or minimal climbing. Purists might scoff at this, but if you were offered a ride to the top - 4,685ft I bet you would take it. Thx SKISC, for the tour of Pisgah.

Tons of fun. I rode Dupont and then Kitsuma on Saturday and then went back for more on sunday.



Even though we shuttled Farlow there was still over 1000 feet of climbing. Just what I needed after the 4000 the day before. My legs are shot and I took no Pictures.



Kitsuma started with a nice 5 mile climb followed by a climb that was only about 1/2 mile in length but climbed up 1000 feet in that half mile, lots of hike a biking went on on that. It was however followed by a killer downhill and then some more climbing and more DH. It was a great wekend.

Yeah, I gave one of the riders my camera and she was pointing and shooting, not her fault just didn't know the settings of my camera.
