Beer is Good

Man, I was able to sit down at the Ellicottville Brewing Company a couple of days and really enjoy their brews..

I had a pint of each of the following wares:
Buchan Nut Brown
Two Brothers Ale
Blueberry Wheat
and my FAVORITE BEER TITLE EVER, that had a whopping 10.2% Alc Concentration was....
Pantious Droppus

I did eat a yummy English Pub Burger there too.. Good Stuff!

Here is a pic of the establishment:

Zoo York Ellicottville Race Loop

So the first stop I had to make in Ellicottville, New York was at the Ellicottville Bike Shop to pick up a trail map of the area. $6, but well worth it.

I decided to ride the Race Loop located behind the training center in Ellicottville. The first 0.8 miles was a horrendous two track that went up the side of a ski slope. Here is a picture from halfway up:


The single track down is EXTREMELY FAST! Lots of very tight technical sections with a ton of rocks and roots. A great section was the "log and bog loop"


A picture of the single track in Ellicottville:


There were a couple of really good dirt jumps that allowed for some BIG TIME AIR!



Final picture of the trail is a water view - that had a lot of bugs to accompany it!
