Noxubee Hill Trail System.

Tyler, his dad, Tator and myself rode the race course for this years Rock Crusher Classic #3.
Part of the 2008 South Central Regional Championship Series (SCRCS) and the Mississippi State Champion Series (MSCS).
The Forestry Service is doing control burns, which makes the trails shine and really neat.

This is a part of the starting area near the beginning of the CW trail.

What a great ride we had on Saturday 3/22!
I'll start off this photo section from the far end of the 3 Bridges Trail.
Here's Tator crossing the log along the 3 Bridges Trail.

Here's me taking the "chicken route" around the drop and log.

Here's Tator making his way up the steep climb.

Then Tator on the far end of the Sheep Ranch Trail. Which has got to be one my most favorite sections of the Nox Trail System. If your not too busy watching your speed and course, just glance to your left for the next mile or so and look at the hollers down below.

Also near the 10th mile of the 1st lap on the Sheep Ranch Trail, be on the lookout for the sharp right hand turn.
The juniors lap and the "shorter" lap for the Pros and Experts will be coming up Log Jump and making a left.
