A recrap, if you will.

Riding with Penwood

So after much contemplation, fork tuning, sandwich eating and Sprung 5 
viewing the ride is finally on.  Penwood is the location, but only after much 
debate.  Joe Dirt has never been there, Air Jane promises Puke Master some 
new trails to map, and since Focker has the GPS he is in as well.  Also in 
attendance is Kona the wonder dog aka Super Slobber.

Meet in the paved parking lot.  All present except Puke.  Looser can't wait 
and finds new trail on his own and goes to explore.  He returns and we gear 
up.  Kona anxious as always.  Up new(to some people) single track heading 
north.  Climbing, rolling, descending with some switch backs, log pyramids 
and sharp pointy rocks all around.  Pop out onto old paved park road, head 
further into park, looking for more singletrack on left.  Find it, follow 
over bridge, switchback up, nearing ridge line.  Pop out onto first overlook 
and beautiful sunshine.  Keep going out, now rolling DH back to paved park 
road.  DH is loosy goosey due to tons of trail debris from wind event the 
night before.

Follow old park paved road to next left, quick right onto The Boardwalk 
section of the ride.  If you have not done this on a night ride when it is 
wet out you ain't nothing.  Better yet do it at night, wet, solo for a good 
freak out in the swamp.

Any way, further out, up old paved park road to the real high point.  Once 
again we all enjoy the beautiful day.  Puke and Focker check for climbing 
opportunitties.  Not much to be found.  Focker sporting metal over the 
thought of going to Happy Hour.  On to the first huck, wheelie drop, roller 
of the ride.  See movie and pics on site for visual info.  All give it a go 
but Focker.  All he can talk about is getting out of the woods for Happy 
Hour.  Go figure.  More awesome rolling singletrack with sharp pointy new 
rocks, but now it gets technical!!  Numerous sections with lines ranging from 
mild to tough to down climb.  We all session a few different lines and take 
some pictures.  All except Focker who keeps talking about Happy Hour.  That 
and trying to figure out the spot he nearly died at last time he was at 
Penwood.

More great singletrack, rocks, some drops and logs.  Finally to dead end road 
after steeep DH with tight switchback.  Now steep up from deadend.  All try 
it but trail debris ruins all hopes of success - honest!  Now slightly 
climbing and more techie up.  Jane cleans first tough spot, hears Puke 
blaming Kona when he bobbles.  Always something with that guy.  Maybe it was 
because his front tire was put on by Focker - backwards.  On to next 
overlook.  Still a beautiful day out - Wow!

Mr. Happy Hour thinks we should head back.  We sort of vote and give in.  
Every time we ride Penwood now we ride longer but don't go very far down the 
trail.  Will I ever see the fireplace in T'ville again?

Heading back now, fun DH back to the dead end road.  The three Bullits get a 
good gap on Focker and almost loose him for good when he misses us waiting 
for him.  We gather him up and promise he can go to Happy Hour soon.  
Mellower old deer trail back to old park paved road.  One stunt over log 
early on.  Puke, Jane and Joe Dirt over clean.  Puke encourages Jane to nose 
wheelie it on the way down.  See the outcome in the pictures section.

Onward dodging more deadfall and debris.  Janes cell rings, tries to get it 
but SSK hangs up before he can answer.  Puke takes the opportunity to get 
some sun on his wiener.  More slight up hill and now it gets a little 
steeper.  Joe - never say no to a ride - Dirt feeling the efects of the past 
three nights rides.  Finally back to the park road.  Back track the 
boardwalk.  Focker follows Puke line and almost crashes.  Why?  Thinking 
about Happy Hour!

Backtrack on singletrack we rode in on.  Kona blocking for Jane now so he can 
get a gap on Focker.  More DH than up.  Lots of sharp pointy rocks, big 
roots, switchpacks and logs.  Fun for all.  Back to the car.  Game over.  
Shoulda, woulda rode more but all look tired.  Except for Happy Hour boy.  
Time to get his drink on?  Claims to be hoping to get a job out of it he 
says.  Who will build trails if he has a job??

Joe Dirt heading to Case for 5:00 group ride.  Crazy.  Once he rests up his 
new Bullit will be flying.  Puke claims to need to go do work.  Jane off to 
gather up dinner for SSK.  Kona is just happy to be anywhere.

Ride rating??  It was sooooo focking nice out the ride hardly mattered.  

Safety note - on sunny days avoid looking directly at the polished Bullit in 
the sunshine. (thats why I couldnt huck anything - DOH - PM)
