So, it was a nice long weekend and I got in lots of riding....I know more of your were riding so post up your reports here.
Friday: 11am - Spier Falls. Had a nice ride with lots of climbing with McGRP01 (see pics in his thread) and DJ from our local club. Relaxed pace and a nice long loop on a beautiful day. DJ & McGRP01 had some mechanical issues, but thankfully, my bike performed well. Got home from that ride, at a sandwich quick and headed out with Sq-Earl and the KAPL guys for a loop at our SMBA trails. We rode, 107-->Bee-->High Noon-->High Roller-->Inner Loop and out. It was an awesome day for riding and I felt fast and my legs felt great on my 2nd ride. Sq-Earl was surprised at how fast I was going late in the ride. Maybe I am ready for this racing thing afterall
Saturday: rode some stunts around the house and a little loop behind my house just to see how my legs would feel. Then it was yardwork!
Sunday: DH at West. That place really is trying to kill me!!! Took a few runs, but was having some difficulties. My rear brake cable kept popping out and I wouldn't have rear brakes...
I fixed it a few times, grazed quite a few trees and slid out on some really steep dirt sections. Sq-Earl had a bad crash, but walked away with some bruises and scrapes.
Monday: 10:30 am - Spier Falls. Sq-Earl and I decided to do another loop at Spier Falls. Climbed up the wind tunnel to the main trail. Got to the top and took some pics. I made a couple of tough climbs, but my legs were tired from the DH day and it was getting dark with lots of thunder so we cut our ride a little short and took the Mystery trail down. The mystery trail is REALLY steep with some tough rock gardens. I managed to ride more of it than I have ever ridden before and whiped out pretty good in the tough rock garden.
Overall, an amazing weekend of riding!!!!
