Met up with Carrie, Steve and Johnny around 4 and started to head up, but only made it 50 yards before Steve encountered chain problems. After a few minutes Johnny fixed the bad link and we continued.
The ride was a lot better then our first ride there. The worst part is the hike a bike up some steep rocky terrain, but once we got to the castle on top the ride became enjoyable. There was hills, a lot of rocky down hills, rock gardens and really good views on the ride
We all rode really well and Carrie rode a lot new stuff that she's never seen and did a great job with coaching from JP. She did take a good spill at one point were she went over the bars and the bike landed on her banging her chin into a rock and she shook it off and rode away.
Ended up getting a little lost at the end of the ride and ended up doing some road riding back to the park, but got back where we did some tail gating. Steve brought some great steaks and shrimp we cooked up on JP's grill along with some cold beverages, great way to end the ride.
Thanks again Steve for the meal.
If we can master the end of the ride, it will be worth doing again. Will post gps route shortly. Steve took pics and video which I am sure he will post when he gets a chance.
