The Hoffmonster decided we should try something a little more "technical" than the fast tracks of Dupont.. His suggestion .....Farlow Gap to Daniel Ridge after ascending up from Glouchester Gap in the Pisgah National Forest.. this is the same route (one of the loops actually) that the Swank 65 does...
I asked Brandon Lee about it and without hesitation he replied "what are you crazy... count me out...no fun, just pain... "
Did that deter Jim, Beth and I ... of course not... a 3hr mtn bike ride with an hour of hike a bike.. my fillings are loose, my crowns are shot, my back is wrecked.... just another great day in the Pisgah....
I might just sign up for the Swank....

I said no to this Tuesday. I did not want Teenie to quit mountain biking altogether!
This is definitely NOT a "no fear, no tears" ride... but YOU will have to do it...
This must be reunion week, because I think the last time I rode Farlow Gap was the same year I climbed Sassafrass Mountain...12 years ago. I might have even done it before I had a disk braked, suspension bike. I bet me and my dualie could handle it now.
you know how those videos always make things look flatter and the rocks smaller..... well this is BAD... maybe a 5" travel DH ride but then you would have to lug the beast across the boulder river crossings and up the hills... we need Gillespie to weigh in on this...
