don't make me kick your ass
8 months ago, BigT broke her wrist in a bike commuting accident. In the interim, she bought herself a new bike. She has started commuting on bike again, and today was her first dirt ride since she broke her wrist. It was also her first ride on her new bike, and it was my first ride on my new SS.

We went to West Hartford Reservoir, because the trails are easier, and she was just testing out her wrist on the dirt. We did almost 4.5 miles, because she didn't feel well. She loves her new bike, and is very glad she bought it. She calls it her "Holy Grail" of bikes.

On with the pics.

On the trail over a few rocks.


Me, on a log ride. It took me 3 tries to ride the length.


A short rocky downhill (not as smooth as it looks)


Final rock strewn descent.

IAB, where we encountered mud when I rode with you and MBC, there was a much longer mud section and water flowing down the trail.
Yeah, the mud at the reservoir can get pretty bad. There are ways to avoid all of the mud spots though. You've just got to know where you're going.
