Dahlonega's Hiker Hostel has a huge Walton style breakfast and Mulberry Gap's breakfast buffet is amazing, but Crash Pad...???...not so much.......... so we drove in to Greenlife, once again and filled up on some good stuff.
Then rolled out and yep, you guess it....slid down the hill again.
We toured the town of Chattanooga and rode along the river for a good while.
We hit a lot of bridges and they were pretty cool.
Everett was following a crane/heron along the waterfront.
Then....we slid down the hill a few MORE times.....then drove over to the open air market.
Next, it was time to hit the trails. Enterprise Park at the Volkswagen plant is just a few miles outside of the town and there are a few trails there for walking, running and riding. Everett forgot his jersey and didn't want to wear a t-shirt. I kept catching a glimpse of orange in the woods and it was weird.....
The trails are smooth and hard packed and a lot like FATS. It was fun and fast. There was a skills areas...meh.
Smooth single track and several families out riding.
We hit all the loops and they were fun, but it would take a lot of laps to get in a long ride. The drive around the park is really hilly and pretty cool. The fall colors are amazing!
Everett remembers getting Superman ice cream when he was a kid at Chattanooga, so we went in search of something with similar colors and we found a punked out Superman sherbert? Oh, well, close enough!
We had a great time and hope to head back up that way soon!!

Shey and Jansen had done a long base ride in the Georgia flatlands with Charles Reeves and friends. Jansen was happy with 5 1/2 hours. Then they both raced the A's in Marietta the next day. Jansen had a brake mechanical and had to stop to fix it, but they both had great races. Jansen 9th and I think Shey 11th. Not too shabby!
