Back to Braley's....











Braley's Pond that is. Located in the George Washington National Forest....Me and Crankee took off for a little exploring the singletrack in the leafy mountains last Wednesday. There are so many trails out this way that you could spend a whole season riding them all.









The challenge lies in putting together a loop that is both fun and yet tough. Knowing which trails to hit and which ones to avoid is also helpful....and knowing is half.....
















Seems that every trip out there manifests into a combination of shit-eating grin inducing riding and painful grinding….at least for me personally anyway.....

Highlight of the trip was riding “up” Road Hollow…..this one’s on the list of hit-it again. Nice and rolling with a mix of rocky technical sections, off-camber and narrow singletrack, but no long extended climbs or downhills…







This was also the shakedown ride for the newly re-assembled El Mariachi with it's new pretty paint job:
