Julie, Steven (awesome kid from Julie's mountain biking class), and I went mountain biking yesterday. It was so much fun! Poor Chris had to work all weekend, so he didn't get to come.
Before we left Julie and I had to rent bikes. Some other people had just rented a tandom bike. They let us take a ride. Steven and Julie road it just fine... but man did I have a hard time! Didn't help that Julie road right towards a parked car! Those things are hard to get started!
I noticed looking at all the pictures I took were at the parts that didn't have rocks & roots and skinny steep trails.... probably because for most of the time I was trying to survive. But it was a rocking fun trail! Would be a fun dirtbiking trail too. There were probably about 3 or 4 groups of dirbikers we ran into.
This is a good "we just started" picture. Notice how clean Julie is.
A couple of minutes after the beginning of the trail... yep we got real dirty!
About at this time I was just getting down how to shift. These bikes are machines! The only downer was the ORC only had HUGE bikes to rent. (I totally forgot to rent a helmet) So Julie rode the taller one. We nick-named them Everest and K2.
This was the end of the trail. Then we road up the road back to the car. I was exhausted! But it was so fun. We rode for about 3 and a half hours.
Julie and I were so dirty. We both had more mud showing than skin on our legs and our faces were pretty bad. It was so fun. I vote yes for mountain biking.
