    we rode.

    a lot.

    last time I was there was right when they were finishing up the pump track...so there's been a ton of improvements and additional lines added, especially on the XC loop and the new Micro Rhythms - which are amazing for beginners that wanna learn how to jump confidently.

    after I got comfy on the Micro Rhythms, Kings talked me into hitting the Expert Jumps...actually, nearly all those jumps are rollable so it's not really a big deal. I just rolled in, checked it out, and after a few runs I started getting the hang of it - and a fuggin blast ensued.

    so we jumped a lot, we rode skinnies, took a break, went to Otto's and spent a stupid amount of money on beer, got some Wendy's, drank a few beers, went back, rode some more jumps and skinnies, hit the pump track a few times, watched a dude bust his ankle right next to us on the last jump in the Expert line, and that's when we called it quits - about 5 hours of riding.

    NBD.

    then there were more beers, cops, driving, $14 burgers, more cops, stupid expensive tolls, more driving, coupl'a more beers, home.

    and I'm sore. everywhere.

    didn't take a single picture. took 84 videos and they all suck. I shot in 1080p res w/the chesty so the vertical field of view is way too narrow - you're staring down at the bar and top tube which gave me a nauseous case of vertigo. shoulda shot at 960p. so I gotta scrap all that footie which means I just have to get back up there ASAP. darn.

    ...the wife wants to go up Women's Weekend, which is March 15th-17th. We'll prolly go up Thurs night or Fri morning and come back Saturday night or Sunday morning...loose plans.

    glad y'all made it back in once piece!

    Do it! It helped Megan quite a bit to be more confident on the bike.
