Wasn't planning on posting but a super cool ride this morning and have some time to kill in the airport and when we get home I am sure we will be swamped so here goes. This morning we met Paul, Jenna, another rider, Jen I think from BareNaked, and one of their friends. We did a lap of the xc but when we got to the high point of the xc course, Jake and I took the Paul Hanson guided tour because he had a special use permit for a particular trail is all I will say about that. We just rode easy and had some fun. It was nice to ride a lap with nothing to worry about other than being back at the hotel to get to the airport. The course had really dried up and almost everything was rideable. A broken chain on the way up but got it fixed no problem and back on the way. Beautiful morning in the VT woods.

Back in the woods. The pile of rocks to the right between Jake and Paul used to be on the trail. Still couldn't clean this section where it got real steep.
Jake climbing the special road. Pretty much a straight grind to the top.
