Ashland Riding - Chuck's Chips

We went down to Ashland for the long weekend on July 4th and squeezed in some quality time with friends, Shakespeare culture, fireworks, parades, and even a ride.
The plan was to go up to Wagner and ride something new.  Chad mentioned this was one of the better rides in the area and I was game to go check them out since it was an area I had not ridden yet.  We met early in the morning to try to avoid the heat and started the grunt up the punchy climb on the fire road.
The initial grunt out of the car was feisty.  It was steep and I had to get out of the saddle and rock the single side to side as we gobbled up some elevation.
The descent made up for the grinder uphill as it descended through some nice and tacky trail that got even steeper on some of the descents.  It was good fun to get out and explore some new dirt.
