I was bored and my Dunlop606 rear tire came in yesterday. I got the shop to swap tires for me and I went into the mountains. Rode to Helen, Ga then up Richard Russel I then hit every dirt road I could find. Had 1 scary moment when I found the dead end of a trail and there was a pickup with some guy sitting in it. I'm talking 3 miles back off the road with creek crossings and large mud holes.
I made about 14 creek crossings (never went down luckily)and got to test the water proofness of my FirstGrear 1 piece cold weather suit. I stayed nice and dry but my boots didn't do to well.
Heres some pics. I never stopped on the dirt roads for pics there just wasn't any good spots. And yes these are camera phone pics.
