J-man and I went to grippis yesterday after he got off work. We got there around 4:00pm. The weather was awesome. It was a little cool, so we wore long sleeves, but the sun was out and it just felt good to get outside. We were about 20 minutes in to the ride when I flipped my bike. For the result of that flip, see that picture to the right. I am pretty black and blue this morning. I also have a big knot on my knee. That probably hurts the worse. Anyway after I flipped, I got back up and we continued on our ride. The trail was dry and really, really fast. That was the fastest trail I have been on yet. I guess since we started riding in the fall when all the leaves where down and then through the winter with the snow, we didn't get to ride the trail when it was that dry. We were flying. At some points, I was pretty much out of control, hence the flip. But man was it fun. Everything is turning green now and it is just a totally different place to ride than it appeared during the winter months. I can't wait to go back down. I wish Allegrippis was closer than 30 minutes away. I wish it was out my back door. But it's not. So we travel. Oh by the way there is a McDonald's close there in Huntingdon, so if you need a Sweet Tea after riding just stop by. Or if you need a "recovery" milk shake, just hit the Meadows there. I think that was my most enjoyable ride yet of my short mt biking career. I know I say that everytime we go out, but it was just great. I felt good too. That helped make it even more enjoyable. Must be the P90X plyo and the trail running that is adding some strength to my legs. That sure will help me when I am trying to keep up to the J-man. He is a beast in case you didn't know. He was talking about doing triples on his week off. What a crazy. I'll let him talk about that when the time comes. Sorry Adam you weren't there. Sorry to anyone else that reads this blog that was there yesterday. Aweseome, Awesome, Awesome.
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there!
