Four days of mountain biking....

On Wednesday, I was going to go biking with Chris Jaussi and Durke after our day of our jobs but I didn't get off work until 6:00 but they went ahead but I still went by myself up the Canyon Road until the A-frame house. It was great, temperature wise, about 65 degrees and it was nice to be climbing. On Thursday, Chris wanted to try again and go riding with Durke and I because I was going to be able to ride with them, I even got off work a little earlier but Chris had to baby sit so Durke and I went anyway and we went up to Black Hill and found an awesome trail the motor bikers made in the last three years. Now, this trail is really the coolest trail I have ridden on, you can ride up a singletrack trail from the bottom of Black Hill along the west face and it goes all the way to the top and then it continues on down the east face very steeply, then it goes very fast along the meadow on the east side of Black Hill. When you loop around at the end of the downhill, then it'll shoot straight right back up the east face which was way too steep for a mountain biker. So we stopped there and cut through and got on a road back to town. The trail was long, it's got to be at least 5 miles and it even kept going. So awesome.

Then on Friday, I got off work early, at 1:00, ate lunch, then went up the Race Loop by myself this time, the day was a lot warmer which was at an unseasonably 78 degrees(checked the thermometer, in the shade too). It was really nice to ride in the more of a heat again, it felt so good. My legs were achy from the last 2 days of riding though but I went anyways and it was a total blast. I was the second tracks on that trail, I guess another mountain biker rode on it before I did. The muddy spots from the snow was barely, barely dried off. This trail is on private land but it is ok'ed for mountain bikers and hikers in the land but no atvs or trucks were allowed which is good because I don't want any of that stuff on that trail, just mountain bikes or shoes on it. The trail used to be doubletrack but now it's singletrack since they closed it for atvs. It is an awesome bike trail now!

Finally on Saturday, was pure fun riding. It was a nice day but not as good as Friday because it was a little windy but still perfect. I did exactly same ride I did on Thursday which is Black Hill again but my legs felt a little better so I rode great. It was great fun! Those four straight days of pure hard riding was really worthwhile.
