Mtn Bike North Mills River

OPT had a programmed rest day for 10/16 so I decided to get out on my mountain bike which has been neglected recently. Glenn and I went out to Mills River and explored some new trails. Weather was gorgeous and the color of the autumn leaves were great. Because we were exploring new territory we were out for longer than expected, about 3 hours but only went around 7 miles. There were several sections of trail that were unride-able and we had 4 creeks crossings (2 of which were almost getting lost). On trail was very overgrown and I don't think it sees mountain bikes ever - that was the one we had to walk the bikes on most. All and all it was a mellow ride except for some adventure moments thrown in there.
