Day 158 (June 7) - Beverly rocks and primitive trails

Matt, Paul, Roger and I headed to Beverly to ride the trails near Gordon College. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the ride, Paul broke his free hub, and pedaling forwards no longer resulted in forward motion. Fortunately, we were not too far from the road, and Matt yielded a few extra miles retrieving his van so Paul could drive himself back to the parking lot. We continued without Paul, and hit some pretty primitive and "old school" single track with lots of rock, and significantly steeper pitches than what we are used to riding at Harold Parker and the Fells.

One section in particular was very steep, and then ended with a hairy assortment of roots that paralleled the trail. I had never ridden it before, but decided to thread the line between a large granite outcropping that rose up from the ground and the roots. Fortunately, I made it out of that downhill unscathed.
