Last night Erich and myself decided to roll with the Clemmons shop ride. The loop took us around the backside of Tanglewood, I think most of the locals call it the Dock Davis loop. After three laps as a warm up, things heat up for the fourth. Erich and I attacked a bit towards the end to try to string things out since it hadn't heated up too bad. After we worked our way back into the little pack three took off, so we started to jockey to get out to the left to pass. Two riders tangled in front of me, with one going off the road and into a gravel parking lot to avoid going down. I safely negotiated around the group and sprinted up with E, we weren't able to manage to catch the three that jumped, but were able to finish the sprint in 4th and 5th, not too shabby.

After we got back to the shop, we decided we hadn't had enough, so we packed it up and headed over to Tanglewood for some night riding. We both had to hit the restroom, so we headed over to the newly re-opened campground. Through the mud we went and were almost halted in our tracks, which almost led to an unscheduled dismount, which almost led to some absolute hilarity. We put in a few good sprinting/hill climbing efforts in the park and paused to snap these photos.
And one (of many) silly photos
