Robin, love the pics.
So I decided to hit Clayton again. Saw that fella again with the full face helmet. Those of you who ride with me and know I am not too keen on climbing would be quite surprised to hear I actually rode UP the chute today. Purposefully took a few trails in the up direction and was pleasantly rewarded by a few nice downs I never knew were there. I rode my "usual" route backwards as well as rode 2 short trails I have never hit before (I think) as many times as I have been there. And I rode them in both directions. It was like visiting a new park. What used to be "Oh no I have to go over a log," turned into "Oh look a jump!" with a simple change of direction. Had a blast. I plan on taking it easy tomorrow though. Just a canal ride with some friends. Sorry no photo. Left the toaster at home. Just a little under 2 hours for me today.
So far enjoying this.
