Well done. I swear I don't know how you MTB guys do it. Can't wait till I'm offsite to view the vid. Happy eating and sweating, my friend. We're getting closer and closer to the weekend!!!!

Yea, we're pretty nuts. Especially those guys who go balls to the wall on single tracks alongside cliff-sides. The ride I did today had that crap, and boy oh boy was I nervous.... one wrong move and it's tumbling hundrds of feet down the mountain side! I added the first ride of two for today above!

Wicked ride!!! I love the scenery - it would still scare me half to death to go as fast as you do on those trails.. it's just one big rock away from some crazy injuries! :) I suppose that's half the fun!

way cool, Chris! I'm with you, Erika, on the injuries. I'd be scared have to death. A bunch of the MTB guys I know though are more scared of road spills than trail spills. What about you, Chris?

Oh yea, I hate riding on streets because I don't trust drivers to see me! People are so distracted these days. I hear so many stories about road cyclists getting injured or dying from getting hit. At least I religiously wear my helmet now. So if I take a spill offroad, I'd rather fall on dirt or brush rather than asphalt! On my Rockville Hills ride above, oh man, there was one crazy CRAZY downhill section where I got a little beat up. But nothing some band aids couldn't handle! lol. I'll have a vid up of that one by the end of the weekend :D

Thank goodness you wear your helmet. Yes, that's always the excuse: I just didn't see him" Beat up? That doesn't sound good . Glad you had fun though. Look forward to the vid.

My neighbor has flown around the country doing these, as she calls them "little rides". She loves them.
