Brevard with Karen and Richard

Kristen and I got a chance to go visit Karen and Richard in Brevard, NC.  This was a double bonus since we got some hill training in as well!  They live in a neighborhood named Conestee which had more hills than we knew what to do with!  We were also super close to Dupont State Forest which had some fun Mountain Bike trails.

I got to climb Caesars Head in the rain.  I heard it was a challenging climb, but it was not as hard as the hills we experienced in Conestee.  It was sustained, but nothing too hard to handle.  There are plenty of small Highways with little traffic to bike on so it was lots of pleasant riding.

I rode the Mountain Bike at Dupont a couple days and it was amazing!  Lots of flowy single track, some ups and downs and on a weekday, no one was out so I had the trail to myself! After riding for two days, there is still plenty of trails I never even saw.  I can't wait to get back there and see the rest of it.  There are other parks in the area with lots of trails and I didn't even get a chance to see them.  I see us going back to Brevard to ride a lot more in the future.

We did some trail running in Conestee and got to see some pretty waterfalls.  There were lots of bugs though.  Anyone who ever said Florida has the most bugs is full of crap since I got bit and stung more in one day in NC than I have in three years in Florida!  No complaints though, it was great to be in the hills for a change.
