Despite the rain we decided to ride anyway. I was assured that it drains well there, which was correct for the most part. We did run into plenty of water, but not really much in the way of mud.
It was my first time there. I got a nice tour from Woodcore and MTN-FUN, though we skipped a few sections to avoid wetness. I saw a bunch of rollers and whatnot, most of which were still too slick to ride. Regardless we had a lot of fun, it was really good to be back out on the bike again. It was actually closer than I thought it would be, I'll be back to check it out again when it's dryer for sure!
Between all of us we got a few firsts of the season out of the way. I think we all drew first blood, Woodcore had his first OTB, I went down pretty good in a stream crossing, and I also got my first tree shoulder check in.
All in all we did about 12 miles in around 3 hours. I sure was breathing hard on more than one occasion, and even the simplest of hills had me in granny...
