Back before I broke my wrist, Volklgirl and I had planned on going to Shearer Road, which is a sweet mt bike trail system about 2 hrs drive south of where we live.
Since I'm healing well, I told her, we may as well keep our plans and I'd do. I decided to take the SS out and see what I could do on it.
MANOMAN it was fun!!
I Love the rock gardens!!

Kris' husband went with us, which was fun, because we needed someone to take abuse.
:)
At the entrance to Shearer Road Trail, Mr Volklgirl found a pair of panties on the tree.

I'll admit, I was tentative, and didn't do some of the amazing obstacles that I really should have done, but I really don't want a set back in healing, and this was my first time on this particular trail.
Kris has some awesome pics, which I'll add later, but here are a few.

You girls rock!!!

Good to see you continuing to get out! VG is really helping you get outside your comfort zone and progress, isn't she? ;) That bridge scares me. :eek:

Nice TR!

She is mosdef getting me out of my comfort zone, but at the same time she is understanding about my tentative nature on some stuff right now.

In the Bridge picture, if you look to the left of the pic(riders right) you'll see an alternate bridge(flat). Almost everything on this trail has a bailout alternative, which is handy for someone like me :)

There were many obstacles that I did with no trouble, and I have some video of VG and Mr VG, but I haven't loaded them on a host yet.

You'd love the teetertotters!!!
