I went for a ride with Skibum last night and was out of my single-track league. He makes it look so graceful and easy.
Normally I ride on snowmobile trails for 80-90% of a ride with the remaining portion being single-track stuff...not last night. All tight single-track with plenty of rocks, ruts, fallen trees, tree trunks & ragged stumps, bridges and other menacing hazards. After at least six body thumping falls and numerous off-the-pedals bailouts before crashing, suffering bruises, giving blood and tearing shorts the torture came to a peaceful end. I'm looking forward to the next ride!
