Paint Creek test ride

Today, Pops and I drove out to Paint Creek to check out the trail before next weeks race.

A lot of the trail was wide grassy double track that was (unfortunately) dotted with nasty sticker vines that were hanging out into the trail.



The trail had several "cut-outs" to more difficult sections. We included them today in case they throw those in next week.






Our ride ended up taking about 3 hrs, including stopping at the truck to re-fill our water bottles and several stops to take pictures. And, I saw a coyote as he ran across the trail behind Pops (he ran between us) and Pops spotted a Skunk.

Here's an interesting link about coyotes in Ohio.
