It was hot, very hot and I was soaked! The heat was bearing down so hard, that I felt like I was in a pressure cooker. Sopping wet from sweat and covered in dirt kicked up by my tires, I was completely grimy and I could taste the salt in the sweat running down my face. I had one loop under my belt and with about two miles left to go, I'd wrap up my second loop at Poplar Tent.As I continued the last two miles of my ride, I noticed that a nice cool breeze began to pick up and the sky was patchy wi...

Rolling up a slight gr... Read More
Sherman Branch, Section One Click here for a route map. Sitting in the office plugging away at work, I glance up at the computer's clock... it's 4:00PM. Ride time is getting close and I'm ready to cut out of the office. I check the trail conditions online to see if the gate is open and send out emails to my riding buddies to let them know I'll be there. Lucky me, the Sherman Branch mountain bike trails are only 2 miles from my office and it's time to split. At the trail head I check... Read More
