Let The Good Times Roll

So, with perfect weather on tap for Saturday, and nothing planned, I decided that I had neglected the ol' mountain bike and decided to load her on top of the vehicle, drive 20 miles into the mountains, and give her a go.

After doin a little debating on what to ride, I opted to ride some of the more populated trails, you know, to keep my mom happy (she don't like it when I ride by myself).

I have a habit of doing the same exact rides, time after time, just cause I know them, I've developed a comfort level.

When the standard rides look like this,
it doesn't get monotonous.
With all the rain we've been getting, the trails are in AWESOME shape. Everything is super green and purty, and the dirt is moist and tacky, Perfect!

So, after about two hours of riding the standard trails, I decided to step out of the comfort zone and go try to find some trails I've heard people talkin about.I got a little lost, but then found the way. It turned out to be super rad, fun trail. Good times where definitely had. Ended up riding for right around 4 hours, 2 of which were exploratory. I hope to get up there and again soon, stat!
This is what I found.

Here is a little video, sorry my camera sucks ass at video.
And sorry for the abrupt movements.
I thought it was funny enough to share still.

Don't try that at home.
(it should be noted that I didn't fall)

No real plans for the Fourth yet, I am leaning towards the Firecracker 50 up in Breckenridge. It's a 50 mile mtn bike race. I've done it twice, here is last year's write-up. Should be fun. Who know's, maybe catch some fireworks or something.

Welp, that's about it for now, I am in St. George and have to head down to Vegas to catch my jetplane home. Toodles.


P.S. One more, just for fun.

You say that like I haven't ever thought about a camera mounted to my helmet every time I try to take a video one handed.
