WARNING:
I couldn't find a ride to the Fontucky race, so I decided to ride up Figuroa Mtn (about 10miles and 2000' to the Fire Station).
When I got the bottom the mountain (haven't ridden there before), I found a trail above a creek in a canyon and rode it. Eventually I went right and pushed up a steep trail until I got to:
It didn't look right with the seat way up in clouds so I put it down for the other pics.
I pushed from there up the road and rode it. Then after riding it for a while I found a drop few hundred feet off the road. No, I didn't hit it on my hardtail with street tires...
I found another drop that I didn't hit on this bike.
Up above that.
The road.
Mountains.
The drop again.
The road.
I'm using a Mac at school right now. Why doesn't the end and home buttons work??
The sun behind some trees.
The Firestation, where I turned around.
I lowered my seat and headed down. While going down the road, I decided to wallride the hillside.... As I was coming down it, I noticed two yucca plants (an oh **** moment). I jumped over/through them and down on to the road. It was getting windy so I had to stop quick while riding down a long straight section of the road because I though I was going to get blown over. I got squirrely then rode down to the turnout and talked to someone with an L lens. I noticed both tires were flat... I replaced the front tube. After that, I realized I didn't have my wrench to undo the nuts on the rear axle.....so I had to call and get a ride DOWN the mountain...
I took more pics while waiting to get picked up.
FLAT!!
