Just ride

So, my roommate is really into mountain biking and there's a mesa right behind our house.  Naturally this is the perfect set-up for me to improve my trail riding skills.  I'm getting better for sure, but he is still so much better than me on the downhill part.  I don't quite trust my bike to go careening off of the trail just yet.

Mountain Biking: 20 minutes, 2.4 miles, 400 ft elevation gain

The other issue with riding on the weekend is that there are tons of hikers.  I don't ever come close to hitting them, and slow down so I don't freak them out, but it does slow my net time.  Here is a fun picture of Sylvia popping her collar and being all cool and stuff.  She does not care how fast or slow she's going.  She just rides.
