Great Ride! Garey's last MTB ride before moving to ATL.

I felt ok on the climb not my best but not my worst... Decending I felt good, again not my best but pretty good.

Rain has been killing me I lefted 2x last week in an effort to keep my fitness up a bit, but the weather looks good this week on my way to training for the XC race on the 7th and eventually the 24hrs of temecula.

ATT


Well what a ride!!! def the 2nd best ride in SD (noble is number 1) Anderson Truck trail is the ride.

We climbing up to the top of the first ridge the normal ride and then headed up another 1200 vert and 3 miles to the top of "world cup" This is where the serious DH in sd is!



I optioned around the stunts huge 4-7 foot drops, def sick stuff the big hit would have been nice! but the IF was what I had.

After world cup things got flowy and fun, then back down to the ATT and ripped that setion felt good in my decent skills on that section did a few little drops, hipped a few corners and manualed a woops...

Great ride a must do again soon!

Great lunch ride! the snow from the nasty rains we got yesterday came down to 600' in some areas! (I live at 300')

Snow capped mnts all in the background cool temps in the 60's sun was strong.

I felt pretty good no dabs at all! cleared everything! wasn't my fastest but def feeling more comfortable on tech climbs in the clipless shoes.

First Ride at Mission Trails this year.

Great ride, left on the up and up, didn't clear a whole lot of the climbs but it was technical not due to lungs. New ruts forming everywhere....

Eticket is a MESS! new ruts, new rocks, def not that fun in the dark.... But a fun ride overall, PQC tomorrow night!

Wow, what can I say! what a perfect day for a ride..... could I ask for anything more? sure then I would probably bitch slapped Yahweh.... Θεός....Ishvara....Lemme from motorhead (thats an airheads joke) what ever you wanna call Yeh higher power.

Today was picture perfect temps, trail was tacky and traction was great.

Donny put in a great effort! today I deem him "el martillo pequeño del día" as Garey is the only "el martillo"

Well hit up the hills in Sabre Springs for a lunch MTB ride. I felt really good! Haven't done this ride in over a year and I remembered it as being pretty tough!

I didn't dab once, up up and away I steamrolled to the top turned around w/o brake and headed back down!

Very encouraging! Good stuff Gonna lift at lunch tomorrow

Hit up the hills behind my work for the first MTB of '08.

Took it easy was a quick ride but I felt good, haven't ridden this trail since the rebiuld of the IF and either I'm fitter (doubtful) or the pedals, fork, and wheels made a big difference.... Well conditions did also as the ground was damp and not the standard dusty loose over hard pack I'm use to so that helped on the tech climb stuff.

Good ride sunday pre super bowl ride

GO pats!

(PS BIM doesn't seem to want to post up the topo for this ride.... ah well it was prob ~500' of cllimbing)
