Bear Creek and Pinhoti

Today Firewater Barry and I headed down to North Georgia to ride. Though it was shorter day of riding..only 2 hrs 40 minutes, there was quite a bit of climbing..7000 feet. To put in perspective, that's 2 plus trips up suck creek. Needless to say, what goes up a mountain does indeed come down, and those trails were sweeeeeeeet. There were two highlights of the day..one while heading up the mountain. Barry didn't make it over a log on the trail, but I did. The second was at the end of the ride. As we were finishing, so was a group of 6 men from Atlanta. So, off to the creek we all went to wash off, cool off, and chat. They all had ridden firewater, but had never met "The Man". Needless to say, they like everyone else , look forward to the event. I enjoyed sitting in the creek surrounded by half naked men. Good times...Good times......

Two days of riding...almost 7 hours in the saddle and 11000 feet of climbing.
