@ntmjeep yeah, not a worthwhile trip if you're not local. You got tons of options from Swannanoa though. Have fun.

 @bizutch: I'll probably end up renting, and heading into Bent Creek, or someplace like that. (If I'm alone, I need to ride where someone is likely to find the body)

 @ntmjeep: if you'll let @ridesmoothbrother know when you want to ride, you can get on a shuttle on Kitsuma

 @bizutch:

 That would be sweet... If it happens at all for me, it'd be either the 29th or 30th. I'll message if the boss will let me out to play.
It even looks like the bike shop in Black Mountain would even rent me a Precept (I don't think mine will end up in the van this time)

 @ntmjeep It is well worth the ride. I would encourage patience on the climbs though because you'll want to go down both Uktena and Kessel Run, but climb up to get to both can be a little taxing. If you're fit enough to do both runs, I'd hit Uktena first, then Kessel Run.
