Start on the SATN for some warm up miles, then let BCGB kick your ass for a while, and limp back home on SATN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the opposite of this, started at BCGB, then hit a bunch of stuff in SATN, then made my way back north to where I parked. I would not want to do that this time of year, though.

Let me know if you want to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinBike Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I'd do that ride. My only issue is that after riding some of the GB, the southie trails would seem easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the South Route and parts of the North and East Route on Sunday as part of a 50 mile SATN ride. What's crazy is that I think we only hit pavement for maybe 1/2 mile the entire time! That ride up to and back from Slaughter Creek sucks but it's on dirt! Load these maps up into your phone or Garmin and get out there. It's an awesome trail system with some big diversity.

That's fun too if you jump the driveway that's just north of SCNP and charge that gut-buster of a climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I didn't know that was coming but I almost cleared it. In my mind it looked like a TDF road gap jump but I'm sure it wasn't quite that impressive in real life. The climb was a PITA on my SS but I didn't want to stop in the full sun so I chugged to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get a sense of accomplishment doing it. My problem is that I'm usually pretty tired by the time I tackle it. And speaking of Crank and Drank (what?! we weren't?) this week's is going to be another special one. Not only will be "practicing" the SATN Social's north route (18 miles), but we've been promised post ride chicken and sausage jambalaya to go along with our dranking, courtesy of a good member of our community. Put next week on your calendar too. We've been promised a pizza party by yet another good member of the community.

cxagent Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 13 hours ago, Albert said: That one is even easier as it's more gradual... 😄 The one they are talking about is JUST south of the Slaughter Creek Trail driveway. The trail is hidden from the road by the trees on the south (east?) side of the road. When they built the road (1826 / Camp Ben McC) they 'flattened" the hill for the road. So the trail makes a pretty good climb with an off camber ~3' ledge almost to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 This one? Just West of the driveway. Right next to a barbed wire fence on the south side, and the trees and a drop on the north side toward 1826 right? Start of the climb from the road view: Is there a tougher climb? This one is really short. There's a longer one farther South by the water tower that's tougher IMO, but still not too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he's talking about something else? The water tower climb is considerably more effort than the one in the above photos, but even that one's not horrible (unless maybe you're climbing it in the middle of a hot summer day!) ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
