We braved the cold yesterday and rode Pinhoti. Man, it was beautiful. The trail was great and the scenery was dramatic. The portion we rode was an out and back that was basically a continual bench cut along the edge of a mountain. They were plenty of steep climbs as well as some fast and exciting downhills. Word of caution: Ravens are NOT the optimal tire for this trail when it is wet and snowy. I did enjoy the ride but had to be a lot more cautious due to lack of traction. Had I switched to the Crossmarks that I brought for back-up, it would have been a different story. For best results in those conditions, something even more aggressive would be preferred. Overall, excellent ride, excellent experience, and definitely a do-over!
On a side note, this flat land Florida boy continues to school the native Georgians on how to climb! All that training with my Cycle Haus team is paying off!
