Drive, Drive, Drive...Rock, Rock, Rock...Drive, Drive, Drive

Ah, Otter Creek. I always forget why I like this place so much until I come back. Ron provided me with the title for this post. That pretty much sums up an Otter Creek journey. Ron, Scott G. and I had a beautiful day in the woods. We were also able to see the infamous Charles on the way back through Louisville that evening. He treated us to a fine Louisville Germantown dinner at Flabby's restaurant. The meatloaf is fantastic, especially after a long day in the saddle. Otter Creek was in good shape. They've made some really nice fixes to some parts of the trail that have traditionally caused problems and erosion. I was extremely pleased to have all 5 inches of travel available to me. The rocks are brutal. We did a clockwise loop with the VOT out-and-back, and then did the loop counter-clockwise.
