Met up with MR. evil and MLegg on Scoville Road at around 8am and we quickly suited up and headed out. Rode into the Jug and did the inner loop crossed Scoville road and headed into the the Scoville twisties across E. Chippens and onto the truck trail. At the far end of the truck trail we decided to head out onto the Sessions gravel loop and went over and rode the waterfall downhill then back onto the gravel loop across rt 69 and up the bypass across the ridge and down the FKC. We exited to the cars via the cemetery twisties.

A great ride and at least for me a very interesting route with plenty of trail I either hadn't seen before or was riding in the opposite direction for the first time. We covered around 9.5 miles and rode at a somewhat relaxed pace. Many thanks to MLegg for sharing a wealth of knowledge about the trail network during the ride. I think I'm finally starting to actually know my way around Nass pretty well.

The trails themselves for the most part are in decent shape considering all the rain we have had lately. Parts of the scoville twisties, the jug and the truck trail had some muddy patches but was encourage by how much has dried up already. Another solid day of nice weather should do the trick.

Anyway great riding with you guys today I had a blast!

Here's the track.......

I was an intresting route, a little too much time spent on fire roads and double track for me to want to ride often. I LOVE the waterfall DH, and its even better when you don't have to do the nasty hike-a-bike to get to it. We just need to find a better way out of Sessios after the DH, some single track would be nice. The gravel loop just sucks to ride!

Going down the FKC was also pretty fun. Lots of speed and rocks, but a little too wide open for me to really get into. The CW DH is much better. But riding the entire cemetary in reverse was fun! I couple of short climbs in the reverse direction that really suck. The hill with the little 2x jump at the bottom is not easy to ride up, but makable
