Revenge

Then to Elk Meadow Trail.
And finally my nemesis. Bergen Peak trail.
More climbing and finally pass the spot that claimed my bike the last time.
The climbing is going pretty well this morning. Middle ring for most of the way and my breathing seems to be calm in spite of the sinus infection I have been nursing. Heck, I'm even hitting 80% of the switchbacks.
I heard talk of snow in dem dar hills, and it looks like it's starting to appear.
Starting to slow down a bit as I near the "almost" top.
Then the trail gets a lot steeper.
And a lot more slippery!
A first for me! Snow in September. And I get to lay fresh tracks on the way down.
Of course this trail wouldn't let me off easy. It's hard to tell from this photo but I tried to thread myself through this but ended up going OTB before it. It was an embarrassing moment trying to unpretzel myself from in between the rocks.
The a fast downhill down Too Long trail which wasn't long enough, back to Elk Meadow and to the car.
Just plain old nice.
