FATS Ride

Plan on Heading down to FATS tomorrow morning for some Brown Wave surfing if anyone feels like the same. My friend Jay is moving to Germany at the end of the month and he has been aching to try out FATS before he leaves. Says in Germany its mostly climbing and fireroads and will long for the sweet single track we have here in the US. The last time we road together was at the stumpjump race so looking forward to the ride. One of his other riding buddies Tim will be joining us and we plan on meeting up around 7:30 AM at the gas station at I20 and US 1 if anyone else would like to come. Hope to be at the trailhead around 8:30.

UPDATE:
Good ride , and got away with only one crash today. Running just a tad behind we didnt start our ride till around 9:00 AM. Hooked up with an out of towner from Virginia that wanted to fall in so there was 4 of us that started the ride together. Did all 4 trails starting with Deep Step. Tried it counter clockwise today and was feeling good and swooshing right along that sweet roller coaster. Got a little carried away and on one of the jumps came down right in time to nail another tree, this time it was just a little sappling a few inches wide and I was able to avoid a body shot. It did stop the bike and I went tumbling a bit but aside from getting hit somehow on the ankle and gouging the tree it was nothing.
After Deep Step headed to Brown Wave for some surfing then back tracked the other half of big skinny and great wall. After Brown Wave (counter clockwise) Tim was getting tired and headed back to the truck.
That section of big skinny heading to Brown Wave is pretty impressive too and you can get some good flow going all most as good as on the wave.
Dont get me wrong, I undeniably know my place in the pecking order when running with the big dogs, but I could definately notice a big difference coming off such rides and I was tearing up some single track with these fellas. I know I wouldnt of been able to pull any of it off if it hadnt been for our fast paced group rides and struggling to keep up with the speedsters, Thanks Fellas. Today I actually had oportunities to rest while waiting for the pack to catch up and that sure does make for a nice breather compared to rolling up later only to take right off again.
This place rocks, wish it was a little close so we could hit this one more often.
