Alone on the Mountain

To celebrate the first day of summer and the longest day of the year, I decided I would take to the hills and do a little riding. So I hit up the trails on Blue Knob to try and hone my technical riding skills, which ultimately always leads to me getting angry and hurting myself. It was beautiful though, enough mud to make it fun and hot enough to make it feel like a workout. I would have loved to had company, but I was left alone by my counterparts to fight off the bears and mountain lions by myself. Apparently a road bike is a necessity to be part of our merry band anymore, and running is a forsaken jaunt. Neither here nor there, the trails were fine and the humidity was glorious!
