Pisgah Worked...

Bruce with Pisgah Works lead us out on quite an adventure on Monday. Ohio Rob, Benet and I got in some miles in Pisgah Natty Forest and were lucky enough to not loose any toes. Ohio Rob spent some time doing a quality write up of the adventure so I will save some time sitting in front of the computer and just let him tell the story and I will give you the visual. Yes, crotch deep in cold water. Say word.

Yesterday Benet and I headed to Bent Creek. Quite a different story from the snow, mud and river crossings just 48 hours prior. Gorgeous day, 70 degrees and the trails were in perfect shape. Spent about 2 hours on the trail and with Benet giving the tour de bent I discovered at least 15 miles of new trail that I had not yet seen. NC just keeps amazing me and the more I ride the more I learn how much there is out there. This place should keep me busy for say, a few years... The slow real estate market is also helping me to focus on my main priority of getting to know the trails of western nc to the best of my ability.

Here are a few more pics from the modeling party on Friday night. Where the hell was Brock Landers is all I have to say about that night. Bruce and I had to step it up in his absence and we were working the camera like the fools we are. Here is the link for a few more from the night, the rest (and there are lots of good ones) will be hitting vintagevantage.com in the coming days. Heather with Vintage Vantage is awesome and her tshirts are too! Just in time for spring she is offering up a very special offer to the crew and my associates. Just plug in the name of yours truly (jutrut) as a coupon code at her site and you will receive a 40% on your rad new tshirt and everything else they sell. Wow, first a sock named after me and now a coupon code, I must be doing something right... While your at it check out her super spiffy stash containers. These rock and I am the proud owner a some spaghettiOs or ghetto loops at Ty refers to them, I prefer the term ghett"O"s. Anyways these things come in real handy when you're traveling or just chilling at your pad and word on the street is that all the top riders in this years tour will be keeping their EPO and Cows blood in these as they travel the back roads of France. Be like the cool guys and get you a sweet stash can as you know by now the shoe box thing has been done.

Tomorrow it's back to Pisgah for some early season camping and to hook up with Ohio Rob, Bruce, and the Extreme Zen Froless Tao. Tomorrow we are going to hit either Dupont or Pisgah for a ride. On my way out of town it's time to grab some new music for the trip. The Raconteurs new album hit yesterday and keep an eye out for the new Black Keys album hitting the shelves next week, put these on your ipod and rip up the trails this weekend. That's all for now folks. Rock on...
