Last week’s ride was very nice and interesting to say the least. The weather was great and the scenery beautiful. Trail condition were perfect. Within the first 5 minutes on the trail I became flushed with excitement when out of nowhere a great feeling joy hit me. I realize I have been gone too long! Hours later, I thought Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, and the Get Fresh Crew were performing their hit called “The Show” on mountain bikes because the two cyclist in front of me were putting on a classic downhill performance Amongst the riders there were 3.5 dismounts/dust-offs and two excellent saves!!
