April 20. Cold morning! Harv had 4 layers of clothes in his sleeping bag! Was it really that cold (no snow) or is Harv a wuss? After a breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, & OJ, the dishes were washed. If you wives don't believe that, check out the photos on the link to the left. Then off to DuPont State Forest for almost 100 miles of available trails. Here's the trails we tackled on this beautiful day:
Big Rock Trail
Cedar Rock Trail
Little River Trail
Corn Mill Shoals Trail
Bridal Overlook Trail
Bridal Veil Falls Road (Bike the waterfall!)
Conservation Road
Reasonover Creek Trail
Lake Julia Road
Camp Summit Road
Airstrip Trail (Yee-Ha!)
Shelter Rock Trail
We suffered 2 broken spokes, 1 chain broken twice, complete elimination of some brake pads and pressure loss on hydraulic brakes. We had a lot of fun destroying our bikes! It sure seemed like a lot more than 14 miles! We made sandwiches in the parking lot of the trailhead. We stopped at the 2 bike shops in Pisgah Forest for parts and checking out some awesome new bikes. We cooked up hamburgers for dinner.
Check out the photos of day 2, DuPont is very scenic.
