Maple Syrup

A decade ago, I kind of built this trail and told people about it then everybody started riding on this even with motor bikes and horses.  So today this is what it looks like.  I rode it during the weekend and what a blast it was!

I rode on my mountain bike and climbed up to Willow Creek by going up Power Line, Green Gate Road, and the Canyon Road.  After the Green Gate Road climb, I was already spent and while climbing up the main canyon road, I was already cramping up.  I wanted some electrolytes but I didn't have any.  Next time, I am putting Hammer Nutrition Fizz tablets in my water.  See if that works next time.

So I crawled up the rest of the way, by crawling, I mean just spinning easily to the top.  I even had to take breaks.  I made it though, and the downhill on the Maple Syrup and the Flume was a blast.  It was worth the crawl.  Earlier the week, I even had another fabulous ride.  It was a 35.5 mile ride to Mount Pleasant and back.  I took the Little Pigeon Hollow dirt road then on the Spring City back road. I like the Spring City road because of the wide shoulder.  I was planning just to ride to Spring City and back but I felt good so I rode another 5 miles to Mount Pleasant.  It was a great evening and the spring water from the spring fountain in Spring City was delicious.  It was a great week event though I went on a few rides on that week.  I even rode the cruiser bike and town quite a bit.
