Sweet ride today! We did a somewhat unconventional loop (at least for us), but it worked out pretty good. It started off through the cemetery twisties where I immediately blew of the proposed 75% effort ride for Grassi's sake. I was going at probably more like 90% speed through there and waiting up occasionally, especially at trail intersections. Grassi was doing a good job staying fairly close to us. When we got back to the fire road we took the section that goes south to cross 69 and go into the Session's woods area. We set a pretty decent pace through there with a few full out sprints thrown in. Then we did B-street in reverse and sessioned going up the ledge area a bit before continuing on to the twisties back to Scoville. One I got in there I got into a rhythm and starting hauling ass, the idea of 75% was now a distant memory as we went through there faster than ever, more like 110%. I led for a good portion of it with Greg right on my tail, until I tried to shoulder check a tree and he passed me right before the real narrow trees. I then chased him through the next section where I shouldered another tree (with the other shoulder) but I didn't get knocked off the bike for that one and was able to keep him in my sights until we stopped at the next intersection. We only had to wait a few minutes for Grassi (Jeff was pretty close to us already). From there it was only a short ride back to Scoville where we finished the ride due to the darkness setting in. Chris made that last log pile on the way out, which is awesome.
I think Chris is really getting the hang of things and seems to be having a good time. I know I did tonight. Thanks for the great ride and company guys! :beer:
