Grace and I are visiting her sister and family for the Thanksgiving holiday, and we're getting to ride some of the great trails in Greensboro. While there isn't anything epic or incredibly technical in the immediate area, the trails in Greensboro have wonderful flow and are just a hoot to ride. Major kudos to the Greensboro Velo Fat Tire Society for all the work they've put into these trails. Some of the trails are only a short ride on the road from Monica and Rich's house!
Of course I've got to bring a camera, so I'll be posting the best of those pics to my gallery:

Yesterday we got out and rode Country Park, which is swoopy and fast. Today we rode the jewel of the Greensboro trail crown... Owl's Roost. Owl's Roost is an 8 mile long trail which can be ridden in an out-and-back fashion, and is just tremendously fun. Mostly hardpack with frequent roots, it's got flow out the wazoo. We had hoped to meet up with a local group for a group ride, but it looks like nobody showed up. No worries, we rode on our own.
The trails were pretty crowded, but everyone was really cool. Maybe it was the weather, sunny and in the mid 60s. Back at home there's a severe weather advisory for rain and snow. Yuk.
