Sick + Rain + Business Travel = No Time to Ride
Argh..I'm going through some serious riding withdrawl!! After a 40+ hour riding week during TR, I came home, rode my singlespeed for 45 minutes and got sick about two hours later. Been sick now for a few days, but getting better and resting. Finally feel good enough to ride and what does it do? RAIN! And if it stops raining tomorrow, well that's just peachy since I'm getting on a plane and going to Virginia for a business trip until Friday and won't have my bike. At least I can bring my running shoes..
The upside is we are camping out at Cooper Creek this weekend for three days of riding and trail running. I don't think I'll be as ambitious as the first time we stayed there, but hopefully it will be a productive weekend.

I'm 31 years old and addicted to mountain biking, sweet tea, and Thai food. I work as a civil engineer to support my addiction. I like campfires, 5 mile climbs on my singlespeed, and long walks in the woods. I'm a woman and I can actually read a map. 8 hours a day on my bike for 7 days straight sounds like a darn fine vacation to me. For some reason I'm exceptionally good at carrying my bike around. I'm married with a new baby girl and three spoiled cats. My husband can be credited with starting my mountain bike addiction and he is a great enabler, as he keeps me rolling.

Do they have singletrack at Cooper Creek? Amy and I rode some forest service roads up there a couple weeks ago. We saw some hiking trails but I wasn't sure if we could ride on them or not.
Congrats on your TR win by the way.
Need ... more ... endorphins.

Not really any singletrack in the immediate area, but some pretty fun FS Roads. Since I usually do 4-6 hour rides, I can easily link that area up with Bull Mtn to get some singletrack.
Thanks Lisa. I poked around on Google Maps a little. Didn't realize those two places could be linked.
Since when is Lisa scared of a little rain? Lol. Just kidding! I'm sure you could use a few more days of recovery, so don't beat yourself up over not being able to ride. :)
