Blankets Creek 10/31/2009

Blankets Creek lived up to the hype in spite of the rain and with good fortune we had "someone" to motivate the rest of us who were a little apprehensive about getting soaked.  All said and done Blankets Creek is the best trail I've ridden to date as it allowed for consistent momentum as we rode the Dwelling Loop.  Dwelling Loop follows the shoreline of Lake Alatoona with consecutive rolling hills which resulted in good speed and lots of variation.  As the trail turns back there is a good uphill trail that eventually transitions into a really nice downhill with a series of turns.    The trail banged us up a bit, and I became acquainted with a big Oak Tree, face first, during the downhill.  Needless to say we all probably need to get our bikes tuned up after this ride.  All in all it was a great ride and we will definately be back to ride the rest of the trails.
