We're headed down south (Charlotte) but I've got to get out west at some point!
We don't just bike you. We bike-bike you.

Hodge Podge
Only got one ride in while down in Charlotte but it was FUN!!! Although the weather wasn't horrible during our visit, it still didn't completely cooperate with my planned 3 rides over our brisk visit to the Queen City.
So where did we get to ride??? Settle down there, don't get overly excited. And don't jump down our throats getting all twisted that we didn't even ride the "best" the area has to offer. So we got into town on Wednesday and got to witness some fun times. I even took some pictures. I had planned on getting back to ride the trails there as I was very curious... the section we were at was very buff fast singletrack. I asked one of the promoters about the trail and he did describe it as rooty and technical. I really do need to see what "rooty" in NC means to "rooty" in NE... how do the two compare? But alas, it rained the morning we were to experience Beatty.
So Thursday we got up and had an awesome breakfast before hitting.... drum roll please... USNWC. Take it easy. This was a good choice for our starting point of Charlotte trails in that it was 1. close by 2. clearly defined trail system with user ability labeled trails and 3. sounded like a neat little facility what with the whitewater rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, zip lining, canyoneering adventure land. Annie and I headed out on the green loop. This was the first all singletrack ride Annie was embarking on so I wanted to ensure it was a success (and figured any facility that was labeling trails with the green circle, blue square, black diamond system would be the place). And as always, Annie took it down like a champ. Well, she did want to vomit and that was my fault. In my excitement for some southern hospitality I chose a breakfast place that loaded us up heavier than we needed to be for a bike ride... it was good, but too much.
