everything went perfect. weather was HOT (almost 60f), trails were deceptive- slimy/mud under a layer of dry cinnamon, and the best traction was on the wet/dry leaves. actually, i think when i got to a stream crossing that had black algae growing on it, i thought "HEY TRACTION FINALLY!" and wheelied across. ;-)

but really it was a great training day for the upcoming gps-guided night ride (which WILL be terribly hard) and the TKO. i'm sure the next few months of acting like exercising and "practice" rides will help. maybe :-)

enjoy the fails:

Nice hearing engines and any commentary in the vids. I thoroughly enjoy ALL the gnarly dirt rides I participate in vicariously  ???
