RR: Chimney "ICE" Rock

Beautiful blue skies and 36F when I left the house for Chimney Rock
park. It's a 1:30 minute drive, but what the heck! Turned out just
Jay, Mike N., and I for this ride. When I got there, the conditions
where nice. The ground was frozen and some ice had still resisted the thaw.

As it turns out, many of the trails were still trechorously icy.

I was trying to play it conservative today because I am going on a
biking holiday in two weeks. The last thing I want to do is get hurt.
None-the-less, I feel hard after slipping on the ice. I hit my wrist
pretty good, but I think I'll survive.

There was a fair amount of climbing today, made even worse by the ice.
Ice and incline definately do not mix. Lots of forks in the trail to
[insert your stupid fork / knife / spoon joke here].

OK. This next photo was at the end of a nasty climb. I was going to
photoshop it to make it look like it was accomplished. Unfortunately
one of the poseurs doesn't know how to pose and is leaning just a bit
too much to be convincing.

Chimney rock surrounds a huge slate quarry. I suppose there will come a
day when you'll be able to see right out to the highway.

As the day wore on, the trails began to melt. They became pretty soggy
and muddy in places, so the time came to head out to avoid any damage.

On the way back we had to stop at the stairs!

Which we all did, even me.

The last bit of trail before the lot, has tons of log overs and a couple
of jumps.

Mike "Air" Newman shows us how it's done!

Chimney Rock is a great place to ride. Not the tallest spot in New
Jersey, but it's a little bit of wilderness in a very suburban setting.
I grew up around this area, so I am very familiar with the
neighboring towns. In fact, I took a little 10 mile detour on the way
home to stop at Harolds New York deli for some grub.

Yes, that is ONE corned beef on rye sandwich ($23) and ONE slice of
chocolate mousse cake ($11)! Harold was the original operator of the
world famous Carnegie deli in NYC. He started his own place and kind of
upped it a notch. By the way, that's a pound and a half of corned beef
on that bread.

After eating that, stop here in my town, Clearfield, Pa. and sample
this:

Only one person has been able to eat it in the required 3 hour time
limit.

Oh look, now Bob's trying to f*ck me. He hates it when I slap him like
the little bitch that he is. Better get off that computer Boob before
your wife walks in and catches you pounding your pud to my post.

Better get going, "E" is running a special on Michael's Neverland
Ranch.
You might be able to pick up a few pointers from Jack-O about keeping
kiddie porn on the down low.

LOL! At least I can make a few sandwiches from the one of mine. It
looks like you have to eat that whole burger at once!

I think there is a Chimney Rock in about every state. Google it.
Probably would have been less icy in your area.
