Easily the best day out for me this year!!!! What a gorgeous day yesterday was. Mid 70's, cool breeze, not a cloud in the sky and dry trails!
My schedule worked out so I could drive to Bradbury again yesterday for the second time. It is amazing what a few weeks of riding does for your confidence. I hit almost everything I came on. (there was a bridge that I didn't even attempt...scared the crap out of me)
Some highlights for me =
Lanzo - A fairly straight ahead buff as hell single track that makes you do some rock wall stuff, a few mini-bridges, and a rock garden here and there.
The Island Trail - I mentioned this before but I am positive this is a new section that was just cut this spring. Tight turns, a few rooty climbs, and some hairpin turns on a decent that lead straight to a bridge make it tough but FUN!
Gin - There is a pretty decent roller that I didn't bother with at the end of last season and found myself staring at yesterday. I went for it and made it. Felt like a million bucks after. Perma-grin all the way to the car.
My GPS failed to log the last hour of my ride which accounted for at least two miles but I recorded a modest 7 on the day. Like I said, probably my favorite day of the year! (and it's only May) I'll post a few pics when I get home tonight.
