First 2007 Mountain Bike Ride

Thanks to Hope for keeping the baby and letting me head out for a ride at Montgomery Bell with Becky and some or her friends. Rode the "Yellow" trail for the first time and "OUCH" is a word that comes to mind. Usually we ride the Red to the Blue and then take the Green downhill section and back out which would usually take about an hour on a good day. 1:36 for this one trail for me so keep that in your head if you have never ridden the yellow loop as it is a totally different experience from the other trails at Monkey Bell. Lots of abrupt up and downs with momentum killers all over the place. Many tricky turns at the top of steep little hills. I see why "Climbing Queen" Becky really enjoys it, but for the Clydesdale's it is a bear. Becky's neighbor Brian did great with his new hard tail bike and he is a great rider.
