Southeast Team MOOTS Ride

Corey "The Possum" Piscopo

Way too early Wednesday morning, I dragged Corey out of bed and out to one of our local trails to meet up with some of the Southeast Grassmoots team. Corey had been marathon driving from Steamboat Springs and being short on sleep plus having lost 2 hours to time and timezone changes, I figured it best not to bore him with another TN road ride. The weather had been fantastic and the trail was in primo condition. Time to re-acquaint Corey with rooty, twisty, and tight singletrack. Also it was a perfect way to introduce him to the members of the Southeast Grassmoots team, since we primarily play in the dirt.

We had a few hours to kill before work and demos started, so time was best to be spent beating up on one another in the woods vs sleeping. Jeffy, Jim, and Adam were some of the team around for the ride.

MOAB's Mark Dement showed up for the ride.


Tired of playing dead, the Possum drops the hammer.

It was a great way to start the day even though it left us feeling a bit wiped out by the end of the day. We closed up shop an hour and a half late, as we had several hanging around talking after the demos, before finally bidding Corey adieu and heading out for some pizza and brews downtown Franklin. It was a storybook day shared amongst good friends and lively conversation. I don't think it could have gone any better.
