However, the fun we had at NRT just a week before was still fresh in my mind, along with the fact that my wife was coming along with her SLR to take pictures. Yes, we are some vain riders, let's face it, we all drool over the pictures in decline, mtb action, dirt rag and the like, so when we see pictures of ourselves it gives us what we need to feed our egos.
Most of the same riders attended, (Myself, Josh, Randy, Brandon) and this week we had some new guys Tony, Wayne, Austin, and Bennett. Josh and Brandon went straight to the playground with my wife and camera following behind. The rest of us, hit the trail to start logging some miles on the smooth flowing single track.
My goal was to get in 20 miles, but I ran out of time and only got in 13, which was still a good day's riding for me. I also did the drop that Stu was hitting the week before, which was so much fun, that I had to do it three more times.
A few of the DEC guys were out riding, which is always nice to talk with them, but the cool thing this weekend there were four Marines there riding their 20" bikes, hitting the jumps...INSANE! Only one was wearing a helmet, and one bailed hard face first, and got messed up pretty good...
I don't know if I will head back this weekend for a third straight weekend or not, with gas topping $3 a gallon here, road trips may have to be reserved for once a month or so...
See ya in the woods....
