yeah! I finally went riding again. It has been a while since my last mountain bike ride. As some of you know, I tore was quadracep muscle pretty good. It has been about 7 weeks since my last cross country ride. I rode McDowell mountain a few days ago. It happens to be the best trail I have ridden in phoenix, unfortunately, it took me three years to find it. Just my luck, I finally found a great trail 1 week before I move back to california. Another slightly unfortunate decision was bringing my downhill bike on a crosscountry ride. Not only does the bike weigh a freakin ton, but my derailer is bent, so I couldn't shift gears. It was kinda like riding a tank up the face of a mountain. 12 miles later, my friends were sitting in the parking lot waiting for me as I exhaustingly rolled up dripping sweat from every pore in my body. The long ride was well worth it though, I got see a rattlesnake. I attempted to take a picture of it with my new digital camera that i can hardly work. I couldn't figure why the picture wouldn't take until i realized I was taking a video of the snake. I have attempted to attach the accidental video, hope it works. It was a beautiful diamond back snake. i also snapped a couple of quick pics from the trail. I am hopefully going downhilling in a few days, may be able to get some more pics then.
RIDE ON!
