Last weekend, Scott and I drove to Snowshoe, WV for some more downhill mountain biking. We got up ridiculously early, (aka 4:45am) and met in Staunton, VA, where we left his car in the Walmart parking lot and loaded up my new car. With bikes on top, gear in back and tunes plugged in we cruised through WV to the mountain. It was quite chilly at 43 degrees when we started out but we warmed up pretty quick once we got to riding.
The maintenance crew had made several changes to the trails since last year and they were awesome. Our favorite trail "Powerline" had been extended a little with more berms and jumps as well as "Bull Run" and a new favorite "Lucid." We also did a bunch of the black runs that have "north shore" style obstacles on them. Like in this picture and video. The video is more of a bloopers reel, but don't worry nobody got hurt on this trip.
Since Tuesday it's been threatening to rain or outright raining. Not so much as a day without some sort of precipitation which cuts out my riding to work and most other outdoor activities. I was hoping to get some disc golf in some this weekend, but the forecast looks like more of the same. Hopefully it'll quit before next weekend when Chris is supposed to come visit.
