Blah



The 1st decent day to ride all week and I'm stuck at home helping my wife change an oil pressure switch on our Jeep. My freaking arm was too big to fit where it needed to, so the wife got to bust knuckles while I held the shop light ( :o). After about 2 hrs and 2 trips to the autoparts store, we finally succeeded in our endeavor. I hate mechanics......

WRT 1/25

Rode the WRT today, 10.32 mi @ 1:10:00. Rode west from Gtown Rd parking via Blue/White trails to 5 points, then on to Yellow trail north of Walnut Grove to 3 plank bridge. Turned around from there and made my way back (didn't want to run outta gas) My goal is to eventually ride this to Summer Ave, maybe on from there. I think for 6 months riding on an off due to work restrictions, pretty good....

I just started riding MTB in July '08. Bought my first "real" MTB in September. I'm hooked on this...It's a real challenge to ride something under your own power over rocks and roots, up steep hills, shoot down drops and jumps, and wiggle across skinny lines, all while trying to keep from endo'ing the handlebars....

I'm riding the local trails here right now, but I look online and see the epic scale of other places and wish for the day that I see myself in those settings, admiring nature

Purpose

Thought I would create this to log my MTB rides and post any other little weird thoughts that run across the cabeza...
