Rolled out with Mhtfd and Scrublover for a hippy ride at Ragged Mountain on Thursday. Despite the rain that morning things were in good shape. The singletrack at Ragged drains like a dream: the doubletrack in the lower areas, if you have to ride it, is always washed out anyway. Only problem is that Ragged is a rocky place and after the rains the rocks get pretty slick so you have to take it easy.
This place kicks my ass every time. I always leave pissed off but it probably makes me a better rider. Ragged is a mix of rocky doubletrack, old techy singletrack, and some new flowy singletrack that is starting to pop up. Tons of climbing with a nice downhill reward.
I bailed on the guys before hitting a new jump trail due to time restraints and the fact I was friggin' beat. It started raining as I rode down the mountain, fogging my glasses. Unable to see very well I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up pretty much as far away from the car as I could have been. Took the road back. 9+ of some of the trickiest miles I ride with any regularity.
