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.
