Troy Built

I mentioned in my previous post that I finally got to do the Troy Built loop last weekend. This is very good. I rode it 3 years ago and have been declaring ever since that it's the gnarliest trail I've ever ridden. The last time I rode it, I had to turn around and save some man in his 60's that everyone else had left out on the trail. When I found him he was out of it, scared and very injured. I helped him through Mary's Loop and Troy Built. Watching him barely able to walk his bike through made this trail seem super nasty and technical. He turned out to have a broken wrist and several cracked ribs. I watched him fall several times AFTER his initial injuries. We made it out, but it also turns out the trail is NOT that technical or scary. It just seems like that when you're trying to help an injured guy off the trail and it's getting dark. At least I can stop declaring that this normal trail is super gnarly. People gave me weird looks for that and now I know why.
