rode the Tourne and left my camera in the car!!!
UGH
Had a good time. A guide would have been nice, but the HUSBAND and I did the usual "we'll just explore and get lost" kind of thing. I usually remember what direction the car is in, so this method works to some extent.
For a place that is close to us its fine, but the Tourne is a little over an hour away so we would have liked to hit all the "best" spots.
There was some marathon going on today, but some of their "guides" were quite friendly and gave of tips on trails to hit/avoid. One lady wasnt so friendly "didnt you know there was a race going on here today?" UM NO, there werent any signs....
Anyway, we walked/rode/walked/rode to the "top of the Tourne" cant beleive I forgot the camera!
We did the "Top" trail, the red, and the white, and one of two unmarked trails.
Sometimes I get a little freaked from rocks, but I was pretty stoked as I didnt let them frighten me at all today and I managed to muscle/finesse myself over/around them.
Barry didnt like it very much, but when I got back to the van I was smiling quite a bit and told him I had a blast and we really need to visit again. He said "I hate rocks" and I said "rocks will teach you to be a better rider"
The only concern I had...from the map it looks like not all the trails we hit today are actually for bikes. In fact from the map it looks like only 2 trails are for bikes, the white and the yellow. True?
