The three of us headed off to Allegrippiss on Saturday around 3:30pm. The day started out looking dark and dreary but the sun broke thru well before we even loaded up to go. I could tell just by that it was going to be a good day. Adam took his new hardtail disc brake bike. I think it worked well. Maybe he will blog about it sometime. Seems to me it was worth the money. It will do until he pulls the trigger and spend a few grand on one. So now about the ride. I felt really good. Have been going thru some tough times as far as my workouts and cardio level but today helped me feel good again and got me really excited to get back out there. I had good energy and was happy with that. I will say about 1.5 hrs into my legs were getting tired so I was slowing down on the climbs. Actually on this one small climb I decided to just slow down to an almost stop and take in the scenery around me. It was great. Adam didn't fair well on that climb. He stopped behind me and instead of balancing on his bike, then putting his right foot down, and enjoying the scenery with me, he went crashing over the hill in to stones and some bushes. Not so good for him. His knee swelled a little after we were done riding. Hope he is ok today. Did I mention I used my Hardtail 29er. That bike was make for Grippis. It was fast, fast, fast. I was actually out of control on the "dips". But it was a thrill. Over all we had a great time. Might have been the best time we ever had down there. Many more trips to come, hopefully.
