I was able to get out for a nice 4 hour ride over the weekend. Typically I am a road guy, but I may have been converted to mountain biking. Holy crap that was fun!
I met a good friend of mine halfway between Atlanta and Knoxville and we hit the trails. I enjoyed every minute of it, except for the huge bonk about 2 hours into it. I only had 1 water bottle, no food, and I was very un-prepared. I kept saying Chuck would be pissed. I remember a ride with him last year when one of the guys got dropped due to a big bonk (started out way too fast, and then couldn't ride hard to get home). Anyway, I wasn't with Chuckie, but thought I may have to spend the night on the trail!
Definitely a ride to remember, and thanks Scott for letting me borrow the bike!
Not my video, but at least some footage. I hope it doesn't make you sick.

Nice! The trick with mountain biking is to be sure you run a lot while pushing the bike up steep hills. And, if you're as wimpy as me, then you continue to run while hoisting your bike over any obstacles.
