North Shed

Did a nice ride to end 2 weeks of vacation, the kind of vacation that finds you staying home piddling around the house. We'll call it a 'cheap' vacation.

Started up on Salamander, to the Ridge Trail, heading down. Somewhere after the intersection with blue, maybe another mile or so of bombing, I've got a nail in my tire. Another mile of so, after some rock gardens and where it looks like private property (ATV use) I hung a right onto double track up and over a rocky ridge. Down fast on doubletrack to Gambrill Park Rd. There are some nice pirate trails at the bottom of that descent I'll have to come back and check out later. Right onto GP Rd. and bear left on an obvious trail that shortly crosses a creek and starts a steady 45 minute climb on nice singletrack up (Fern Mtn).

Right on doubletrack at top that leads to Blue. I took a left on Blue. Right on Fishing Creek Rd. Left onto Skink back to Sand Flats parking.
