I liked this trail the best because it's funner, less people(actually there was no one there), and I can get a better workout. This trail is a 5 mile loop and I did two laps. It is located in the Uwharrie National Forest about an hour south of Karen's house. There is another trail that connects to it that it is another 5 miles but I didn't do it because it is way too technical for Rob's bike(no suspension). I did do the trail last time I visited two years ago, so I did do the Super Tree and the other trail. The Super Tree Trail is way fast and rolling, so I did like this one the best. The bike above is Rob's bike(brother-in-law), the one I rode. Very old bike and still works good, better than no bike. I was actually the last rider on it two years ago, so two years later, I put air in the tires(there was zero air), tweeked it a little bit and put my pedals on. I didn't have a chance to take my own mountain bike with me because when we got to the airport, they charged $265 each way so I put it back in the car and tried to figure something else.
This is a fun, technical trail but I wouldn't do it again because there were a lot of people on it, I probably will because it's located 10 minutes from Rob's work. It is right in the middle of the city of Greensboro, about an hour north of Karen's house. This is right by a lake and in a park where all the people were. To get there you have to ride on the walkway in the Park where I saw two gay guys walking together(bleh!). Owl's Roost is about 5 miles long so I did two laps and I did it backwards so I can get a better workout. A lot bikers heading towards me. I would say this is more technical than most trails I have ridden there, lot's of roots and logs. I was going to do the Black Mountain trail in Asheville, NC with 2,000 vertical feet of climbing and 13.5 miles but it rained a lot that morning and there was a tornado warning so I went to the Biltmore House with the girls instead. Better than sitting in the motel though but I did find it interesting really. Big house. But a ride would have been funner, all well. A Louis XV red velvet tower cake cheered me up. Thanks Karen for the fun day with you. I have to admit it, the Biltmore House was like the coolest thing.
