Trail Report

I've been lucky enough to be pushed hard by Danaco on the oney the last two weeks. Since he got that thing he's been hammering away with it like a convict in a rock quarry. We've assaulted Matthews/Green Mtn/Hogback with them the last two Thursdays and I have to say that so far March has been treatin' us right. Last night Matthews was 100 friggin' percent. Totally dry, not one drop-o-mud on the BUSS when I got her back to the OHV (Oney Haulin' Vehicle). Cathy Johnson Trail is in primo shape, as well as the KC "pirate" trails. Mississippi G did a recon trail run up Deer Creek Park last week and says that's pretty socked in still by ice/mud/packed snow. I haven't ventured over to Chimney or Apex recently as I know damn well I shouldn't be driving my heart rate that high this time of year. I'm really tempted though, with these 60+ temps and no end in sight for the next few days. That's what Kathy Sabine says anyway. I need to be on the road controlling the old heart rate so I don't end up doing what I always do, which is peak in May then have a downturn in performance in June and early July. This is where I always think of 4father's habit of calling trail riding "candy". It certainly is sweet, and I've got a bad sweet tooth right now....... If any of you Hellclimbers have a trail report to give, post it up!!
