Didn't do much but work, cook, & visit with family this last week due to Thanksgiving.  However, the week before included a night ride and climbing.  My friend & I have been having difficulty getting our schedules together for riding.  So we finally found a time to ride on Friday evening at 5:15 pm.  Well, guess what?  That only leaves a bit of daylight left for riding.  So equipped with head lamps and bike lights we headed out.  What a great ride!  Riding on well-known trails at Bent Creek is like another world entirely in the dark.  Most of the trails seemed longer and the whoop-de-do humps were difficult to see beyond when riding downhill as they cast a shadow on the trail.  We'll definitely being doing that again.  Very exhilerating!  Sorry no photos of the night ride.

The next day on Saturday, my husband, my dog, & I headed to Cedar Rock in Pisgah Forest for some rock climbing.  Initially we didn't think we'd get to climb at all due to the rock still being wet from the rain earlier in the week.  There were some nice little water falls coming off the rock.  So, we bush-whacked around through the woods for awhile waiting on the rock to dry.  Here are some photos!

There are lots of opportunities for climbing in the area.  In addition to Cedar Rock, there's the very popular and well-known Looking Glass Rock, and less-known John Rock.  Each of these are located near Brevard, NC.
