So life has really been getting in my way this year when it comes to getting to ride.
Then I hear that there is a black Friday ride at Boyds Ranch, hells yeah I can make that.
If you love single track and ever get the chance, do it. Boyd is the king of trail cutting but it's not for the weak at heart.
14 riders showed up this cool morning and one of them was Mill in town from Idaho. 14 is a lot for a single track train, so we went to the proving grounds trail all together, then split into 2 groups. Being out of the saddle since April I opted for the slower group. It was a great Black Friday for sure.
1st pic is after the proving grounds.
2nd pic is top of a big hill overlooking Miller steam plant.

The land was just leased by a hunting club. They found out today.

Word is that the hunt club expanded their lease and now has the property that included the single-track. Apparently some of the group had a chance meeting with some hunters today and were informed.

Environmental extremists can relax in the Southeast, we have hunting leases to gobble up single track.

If I had known it would be my last time there, I would have stayed longer.
This makes me sad, very sad.
