Great day out riding!
Weather wasnt too bad, like Jed said rain tapered off after we started riding. New guy BDMaha did very well. He survived all the trails we made him ride. Rain, mud, wet rocks, pretty rough learning curve for a new guy.
The other new guy (brent) is really good, used to race out west. We sufficiently beat him half to death on the rocks. But as soon as he adjusts to our tight rocky stuff he will be leading the pack for sure.

I only took a few pics of part of the group that rode the dreaded 495 rock garden.

No shame falling here. It was tough. It had stopped raining but still very wet. Often when you needed to put a foot down the rocks gave no traction for your boot.

Thanks again to Jed for organizing the ride. He had a nice EZup ready for us and blowtorch cooked hotdogs at lunch.

We pretty much skipped the PetersMill Run side. We rode just about every piece of the south side. Notable favorites include 553H (had a nice flow), 553A, 553F, and 498.
And of course we all love 495 for the rock challenge.

I went on the Peter mill rd and loved it. I should have taken a picture cause it looked like a trail.

Trail 495 is more of a "head that direction" than a trail :D
