The week before.

So we've been doing a lot of riding lately. Last week Mark brought his camera and cut this video for us all to enjoy. The jumping was pretty fun. It was a new experience for me. I always sat in amazement watching "The Great Ride Open" a tv show on fueltv highlighting the Freestyle MX riders on a riding adventure. So when we came up to this jump I decided that I'd give it a shot. Mark and I sized up the jump for a while then we just gritted our teeth and went for it. To our surprise we made it to the downhill transistion. Duane was also there, in the firstsegment and then cameraman for Mark and I.

A Good Day Gone Sour

Well folks, myself and my motobuddies Mark, Duane, and Rob set out for a ride this afternoon. The terrain was great in most areas. We had to make fun of Mark though. He had his little tweety factory spark arrestor. We had to look twice to see if Mark was still going during the ride. We headed out past Stucki Springs and dropped into the Bloomington Caves wash heading back towards Champion Hill. We climbed back up through the canyon and stopped for a photo. Mark got some good news on his phone that he was addmitted into the Rhino Rally this weekend. We went a little further, until Mark blew his rear tire. We said our goodbyes and Duane, Rob and I continued to Champion hill. The dirt was perfect from there on. Lots of traction and no dust. From Champion Hill we charted an northward path on a trail we yet know the name of or given one to, in the direction of a hill we wanted to show Duane. But as we descended further rain moved in from the west and we bypassed much of the fun stuff and slipped through the slickrock an over to the SC River reserve. We were drenched. Too bad the weather went bad and for Mark's blowout but it was still a pretty good run.
