Mt. Mitchell Double

Yes..Mahn!
Another great single track adventure.

Yesterday Erin and I raced the Off Road Assault on Mt Mitchell and man it was tough.
Erin is brave, She hasn't been riding much but went for it any way. Her race ended when her back started hurting badly. I had a solid ride and managed to hold of the ever charging Charlie Storm for the first ever Mt. Mitchell double.

For the record having done both amazing events the Off Road Assault on Mt. Mitchell is definitly tougher than the road Assault. Both events climb 11,000ft but the mountain bike version does it in only 65 bone jarring miles. The surface made the climbing seem longer and slick root lined single track was hair raising. The biggest down hill was over 20 minutes long! It was riddled with switchbacks and in several spot was like riding a speeder bike in Return of the Jedi. The rhododendrons was so thick and tight on the trail it was like a dark tunnel as I heard one rider describe it. Spectacular trails..

So. Next weeked I am back to the high altitude grind up at 10,000ft at Brian Head Ut. I really hope there are some good trails on the course, at Aspen the XC was rather bland. I guess I am fortunate to have world class trails near by to compare the race coursed to :)

See ya.
