Today I wanted to ride a section of Case I hadn't really explored before (Splinter, Mr. Pickles trails, etc.)
- Black Mamba (up)
- Cornholio
- Cornholio Connector
- Splinter (heading northward)
- Mr Pickles
- Old Blue
- Cornholio Connector
- Gray/White Blaze
- Yellow/Red Blaze
- Cornholio
- Black Mambo (down and out)
I was on the Pivot pedal assist so every climb obviously was a lot easier but there are some wicked rocky sections that kicked my butt. Nothing really thwarted me until I got to Mr. Pickles. I missed the turn into it and found out it was impossible (for me) to ascend the steep rocky section from a stand still. After falling a few times and bloodying my finger, I had to walk about a 25 ft section until I could restart riding.
Sections of the Gray/White Blaze trail were pretty rocky as well but I was able to plow through those without an issue. Of course, the final descent down Black Mambo to the parking lot was freakin' amazing!
