Friday, September 18

I could get used to this.

Went back to Lowes Creek yesterday afternoon, and there was more awesome. I rode every stitch of trail out there- except the two little parts I walked. There's this hard switchback down - ladder bridge- rock garden switchback up at the corner of the park that I couldn't handle, and then there was this mad rock dropoff on the one-way downhill Onion trail that freaked me out. But the rest- so VERY NICE. I would no doubt be a better rider if I lived here.

Highlights for me are two trails: Skull and Rad. The first drops in and out of a gorgeous little ravine with a small stream at the bottom and ladder bridge. The second has two ladder bridges and this fun creek crossing. There's also a nice little trail called Nemesis that may as well be called "if you don't yet know how to handle your bike, you're gonna learn, dammit." So much fun.

I saw four other riders and a runner the whole time out there yesterday- far more than the one rider I saw Wednesday. Some of the trail was covered in leaves and looked fairly unused. Both days I made the same wrong turn and ended up at a street with a blue barn. Sorta funny.

Tempted to go out there now... but I should pre-ride in Cable instead...
