Tasty! what kind of fork is on that Orange Niner???
Some VT riding pictures from today
VT Mike and I decided to do some riding today before the skies opened up onh us again.
Expecting 2" of rain through the night, we decided to check out Mobbs Hill while it is relatively dry. We we're not disappointed.
This is an area that is in jeapordy of being closed, mostly due to reckless trail use, and lack of respect to the people that live on the access road. Hopefully it will remain open, because it is a really fun place to ride.
It features VT slickrock

It's about 100 ft or so of exposed granite, that climbs up to some more rolly granite,

that then rolls down some fun and technical roots and rocks, ending in a big slimey rock that you roll down.

It twists and winds away through the woods, and you pass this really old and creepy tree,

and just continues to bob and weave through the trees. It's one of my new favorite trails.
It is definitely a workout keeping the bike on the trail, especially on a singlespeed. There are rocks that will spin you out, saplings that will snag you, rock spines to fall off of, trees to hit, but it is all super fun stuff.

I didnt get any shots of the vintage car graveyard out there as we were pressed for time.
I highly recommend visiting this trail network if you get the chance, it may not be around forever...

It's pretty pixelated, but here it is. It was dark in there, and I was going soooo fast
