    Default Sweet riding

    I road Illinewek yesterday for the first time this year. I was reluctant to go, but didn't have enough time to go anywhere else. I'll never be reluctant to ride there again. Illinewek has the best downhill runs in the QCA. It offers great cornering practice with it's off camber turns, sweet burms, and of course it's a great workout. best of all, for me, it's only 6 min. away.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    Is there an early season lift pass I can purchase to get to the top to experience those awesome downhills?

    That's BS! Real mountain bikers are sometimes pretty good at riding up hill, but they NEVER "like" to ride up hill. Only roadies "like" riding up hill! Getting to the top of a hill for a mountain biker is just a necessary evil that accompanies the reward of going DOWN!
    Ya didn't see me do it. Ya can't prove it!

    That was your boss calling to tell you that your scheduled visit w/ your family jewels in her purse has been postponed due to that fact that you haven't done the laundry or taken out the garbage yet!

    When was the last time you shuttled to the bottom of the hill?

    Checkmate.

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    I don't know, but I never shuttle up to the top of the hill unless I have out of shape Midwesterns with me! Why!? Because I love the uphill!

    I've never got to be a better mountain biker in the back of a shuttle.
