memorial weekend at bull mtn

I was finally able to escape to the mtns in north Georgia and ride the Bull Mountain trails that I have somehow not yet been to. A bunch of friends camped out all weekend, so I joined them on Sunday for a day of riding. Camp was off of 77A, so we began with a nice long forest service road climb (my forte!) then joined up with Bare Hare for some more climbing (I did ok, but not fab). Then the downhill began... nearly all of Bull Mtn was a descent - yeah, my fav (not!) I assumed my role of official sweeper and actually quite enjoyed the ride down. It wasn't nearly as hard as I somehow had imagined in my head, so I was pretty satisfied with my performance. At the bottom (near 1C?) a few folks decided to call it a day and headed back to camp. The rest of us wanted more, so we (I think) continued up Jones Creek Ridge and headed over near Turners Creek. We got about 3.5hrs of riding in. Unfortunately though I wanted more. Sure I'm not too fast, but I can go and go. The guys just wanted to get in a bit of a ride, then go back to camp and eat pork sandwiches and drink more beer. I don't like riding big areas like that by myself, so I went with the flow and chilled at camp for a bit before heading back to Atlanta. It was a great day though and I'm excited to get back up there and explore more soon!
