After a somewhat eventful drive over we ended up staying up somewhat late chatting and drinking a few brews out on the porch. The next morning we got up and headed out to the trail. We decided to ride the Green loop, then ride the orange connector over to the Blue Loop and do it. The Blue was rated the most difficult so we decided to dive in head first knowing that all other trails would be somewhat easier after we'd ridden the Blue. Two broken spokes, lots of water, a few creek crossings, lots of walking and a few hours later we finally made it back to the car. Wow! Rocks galore! Lots of sections on the blue you actually use much more energy trying to ride than you do walk, or at least that's what I was telling myself. ha! We were all wore out! Headed to Tommy's, devoured pizza, drank more beer, stayed up too late, rinse and repeat from the night before.

Day 2, Sunday, we woke up a bit earlier so we could ride and get back to Memphis at a decent hour. We rode the Red trail, easiest of all loops, which was somewhat refreshing to actually RIDE our bikes! I think we were all a bit confused not having to walk like we became so fond of the previous day. Rode the Red, hhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifad fun....Damian and I ventured a short distance onto the Yellow but not far.

We had a blast and I'm hoping to get at least one more pre-ride in before the race.
Here are a few photos from the trip...
