NC adventure

This weekend I had the opportunity to go to the Pisgah’s in North Carolina to do some mnt biking and some catching up w/ my friend Anna. I was looking forward to some warmer weather and long rides. My plane was delayed on the way in by the same storm that dumped 5 inches of snow in NC it was pretty cold too, below freezing for most of the time I was there. But these were details that weren’t going to stop hardcore mountain bikers such as Anna and myself. We road anyway and found it wasn’t too bad at first but on the 30 min decent back to the car we both froze. Hands balled up in gloves feet aching. We eventually got back to the car but weren’t feeling quite so hardcore by the time we got there. But instead of giving up on the great views and terrain the Pisgah mtns had to offer we decided to go for trail runs the next two days. running was fun and a lot warmer.

Aside from the outdoor activities we immersed are self’s in the Hendersonville nightlife. Not a big drinker myself I mostly go to bars to play pool or foosball, Anna had similar thoughts. So we found a bar w/ a pool table hoping to play each other in a friendly game. But as it turns out this bar has an ongoing tournament in witch we were required to participate in if we wanted to play. I wasn’t very thrilled about the arrangement but I decided to go along with it and play. This ended up being a good decision we had a lot of fun and we met several friendly southerners in the process.

On the way out of the bar we heard screams coming from the neighboring building. We investigated, and discovered a pro wrestling tournament. We stood at the window looking in for a while a when a gentlemen who was very informed of the local pro wrestling scene convinced us these were matches we couldn't miss. The event was half way over by this time so the ticketing woman was kind enough to let us go in for free. Insults and violence kept us entertained for over an hour. Much more entertaining than I would have imagined. All and all a fun weekend w/ a lot of memorable moments.
