Great Weekend
This past weekend was another great one. Friday afternoon I got in a good spin around Norris on my Shova ST before Geritt arrived later in the evening. By the time he arrived, Meghann and I had grilled up some Brats, corn-in-the-husk and zucchini. Saturday morning we dropped Jasper off with Meg’s parents so that we could head down to the Ocoee to raft the Upper section. Karl, Robin, and a few other of Karl’s friends had planned a weekend camping trip down there so we tagged along. Karl’s buddy Barry works down there and always hooks us up with a great trip down the river. This year was no exception. We hit the white water center section and had a blast in there. I sort of wish the whole trip was that burly. After we got through with the raft trip Geritt, Karl and I hit Brush Creek loop on our trail bikes. That loop is a lot of fun and you pretty much can hold it wide open the whole route. We worked on our cornering skills and held our heart rates high. Sunday Geritt and I hit Windrock to do some tuning on the new Makulu bikes. It turns out they need 200 lb spring rates. I can’t source one easily, so I am going to build back up my Izimu. That bike was riding so nice before I switched, so lets hope it doesn’t hold a grudge for me trying the Makulu.
Next weekend is Snowshoe and the following weekend is Beech. Lets hope I remember how to race.
