I can’t say that rain spoiled our ride today, it actually felt nice. The Asheville area has been so dry for so long we were needing some moisture. The road work that is being done along South Ridge Road is now wet down and is mushy under ones tires. That just adds to the physical part of biking, right? About the time we started up Hard Times Road the rain began. It wasn’t a hard 
rain, but a nice drissle that was just enough to make your glasses fog up. There weren’t many people out riding today so the trails were not crowded.
I find myself every week wondering, what am I going to add to this that might be helpful to other mountain bikers. I feel like I am so new to the sport that I still have tons to learn and what could I offer?
Well, the new web site that I am putting together will have more informaiton that will be helpful for the mountain bikers that are visiting Asheville for the trails and culture. I am a life long resident of this area, so if there is one thing I do know is where to stay and where to find a good meal. This web site will be small to begin with, but will grow over time… isn’t that how everything works? Anyway, I will keep posting to the blog. This is fun and will still be a fun way to informally express our trials and triumphs on the trials around the area. If there is something you would like to see on the site, that you aren’t finding on other mountain biking sites… let me know, I will try to incorporate it the best I can. I know what I am not finding out there and that is why I decided to start my own site. Keep pedaling!
