There's a rumor I might attempt to make a dessert too. How it turns out is any body's guess.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.

I think this hurricane may be my fault. It's rained on every camping trip I've taken for 2.5 years straight now.

Abbreviated Top 10 Rules

Rule #1 // Obey The Rules.

Rule #2 // Lead by example.
It is forbidden for someone familiar with The Rules to knowingly assist another person to breach them.1

Rule #3 // Guide the uninitiated.
No matter how good you think your reason is to knowingly breach The Rules, it is never good enough.

Rule #5 // Harden The F*-# Up. 

Rule #6 // Free your mind and your legs will follow.
Your mind is your worst enemy. Do all your thinking before you start riding your bike.  Once the pedals start to turn, wrap yourself in the sensations of the ride – the smell of the air, the sound of the tires, the feeling of flight as the bicycle rolls over the Dirt.

Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a bada@#. Period.
Fair-weather riding is a luxury reserved for Sunday afternoons and wide boulevards. Those who ride in foul weather – be it cold, wet, or inordinately hot – are members of a special club of riders who, on the morning of a big ride, pull back the curtain to check the weather and, upon seeing rain falling from the skies, allow a wry smile to spread across their face. This is a rider who loves the work.

Rule #10 // It never gets easier, you just go faster.
As this famous quote by Greg LeMan tells us, training, climbing, and racing is hard. It stays hard. To put it another way, per Greg Henderson: “Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.” 


I'm sure it will be fine and we will have a Good Time, Regardless can't wait  Wink

Looks like the rain will mainly be along the coast and weather should be good where you guys are going. Wish I could be there... have friends from out of town and we are headed to Albino Skunk.

You guys have fun and hit those berms HIGH!  Cheesy

Unfortunately, looks like rain Friday and Friday night.  How well do the trails drain?

Friday is usually mostly setting up and the hospitality (this year at Brushy Creek Cycles). Saturday rides and the Saturday night feed. Saturday is clearing and sunny. 
This system at Warrior should drain fairly well. With the storm moving off the coast the rain should be a lesser amount.
If nothing else like Doc00t posted Rocky Knob is close and bomb proof.

Plan for Saturday morning is to ride at Rock Knob.  Meeting at 10:00 at the Warrior Creek Trail head and we can head to Rocky Knob.  Or you can meet us at Rocky Knob.   

Might ride Dark Mountain later that afternoon.

OVT and Warrior Creek trails currenty closed

Another successful Fall Trip is in the books.  Scott C; Tom A; Chad B; Bryan H; Emily W; and I braved the weather at Warrior Creek for the weekend. Many thanks to Shannon St Clair at Brushy Mountain Cycles for hosting us on Friday. The beer and pizza were welcome. 
Though the Warrior Creek, OVT trails were closed due to the 2 inches of partly cloudy that fell on them over the weekend. It cleared Saturday evening for a perfect meal of  rib eye, seasoned roasted green beans, corn on the cob, and hot peach or cherry cobber. The breakfasts were pretty special too. Sitting around the fire was pretty good too, 
And the ride: We went to Rocky Knob Bike Park at Boone. Nine miles of excellent intermediate level and above trail with little mud, and few roots and plenty of climbing. Lots of rocks sized from boulders to baby heads.  The county did it right  Ended up with a  fast fun technical downhill on PB&J made for a very fine Saturday ride. 
Looking forward to the Spring Trip where ever that may be.
