We decided to meet Monte and John at Gates Chapel for a 8:30 am start and you know what?!?!?!?! We were on time!! I know, I know you don't believe me, so I got a picture!

This is the Lindner's on time......right here \/
Ready to roll....
The guys did a big loop up Bear Creek, Potato Patch, Pinhoti Terminus, Mountaintown, Bear Creek and lots of FS roads in between. I did P1, P2, 68, Bear Creek, ascend Mountaintown....yep, just because Shey told me not to....that took freakin' forever, crazy rocky climb.....then derailleur got a little bent and then I met the boys on their way down Mountaintown, so I then descended MT and rolled my wet butt back to the car. Wet from hitting hard in the middle of TWO of those crazy creek crossings.

Great 5 hours and tired legs on the way home.

I had lunch here:
With my little friend.
The trails were amazing and the creeks and waterfalls kept me smiling.
This is not the one I fell in, but there were at least 6 creek crossings and I got to cross them twice! Yea for me! I rode hard into most of them, but the current caught me in one of the deep crossings and I went down pretty hard and then I went down in a second creek crossing for no apparent reason other than to cool off my butt and get my backpack nice and wet. Oh well. Thank goodness I was wearing wool socks and gloves!
Beautiful trails! And the guys really enjoyed hanging with Monte and John D. Thanks so much for driving up from Macon you two!
