Base lines

Headed out to 'ye old Harbison wood to lay down some times for base lines.  Monty and Jim have a good idea here.  It will be nice to know in three months if I've been able to improve at all.  I rode the following trails and times fairly hard, but not all out. 

Lost Creek clockwise in 32 minutes.  10.6 mph average.  I think counterclockwise is a little faster, I've ridden it that way at closer to 11 mph.

Spider Woman clockwise with innerwoman in 23 min.  9.7 mph average.  Innerwoman killed me time wise and I was humbled in my granny gear for part of the way :)

Lots of room to improve, I have moments of really flowing well in the turns.  As soon as the tire washes out or I debark some tree, I'll back WAY off.  I need to find that fine line between comfort and white knuckle.

Great baselines, looks like you were crankin pretty darn hard. I'll give you my hats up on inner loop too, I have to use my granny also and still ended up on a hike-a-bike climb. Good job!
