Sundays Slippage

We decided we were going to go mt. biking on Sunday so we thought we would go to the Alligrippis trails by Raystown Lake. (Those trails are awesome!!) So we load all the bikes on "The Beast",(Thats what we call Brians truck) and headed to Raystown. We can always tell if its going to be a good day by the radio in "The Beast" if it plays it going to be a good day, if it cuts in and out its not. Well, I think it only played about 2 minutes the whole ride so we knew we were in trouble. When we got to Alligrippis we couldn't even get into the parking area because of the snow, so Brian had to put "The Beast" in 4-wheel drive. NOT A GOOD SIGN!!! We get out of "The Beast" and assess the situation. No problem we can do it. Well, 50 yards into the ride the woods said no you can't! We loaded the bikes back on "The Beast" and started home trying to decide what to do now the day is still young and adventures to be had. So we decide on flat rails to trails we would be passing right by the trail head at Alexandria. So that's what we did, and we had a blast even though we fell alot. The snow was soft and inviting so it was to bad when you took the plunge. I was really impressed with BUCKNAKED he just got new clipless pedals and started using them on this ride. He can tell you about that decision! I made a video to let you see how much fun we had. Hope you enjoy!          
 DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!   THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL CRAZIES ON A CLOSED COURSE (WELL NOT REALLY BUT IT SOUNDS GOOD!)
