DeSSperate Downhillers
I can't take winter anymore!
Today, Kimber and I hit the road at 5:30 am to head down to St. George, where the weather was a balmy 65 degrees and we were able to break out the bikes and ride on DIRT! Woohoo!. 8 hours of driving for 2 hours of riding... and it was SOOOOOO worth it. We had an absolute blast. Despite being downhillers, we both own rigid singlespeeds and broke them out to hit the Prospector/Church Rocks trails down south. It felt so incredibly good to rail around some corners and maneuver around some little slickrock obstacles. And despite the hours I've been spending on my spin bike at home watching bike movies on DVD... nothing quite does it for the body like actually hitting the trail!
So all my friends think we're crazy driving that far. But I can't wait to do it again!
