poly canyon, finally
|
so i finally figured out that there is plenty of daylight left after work for a good ride up poly canyon. i also finally figured out how to get out past the barns onto the "real" trails. i think i rode up and back down the "dirty slide" (or something) trail. it was pretty fun, at one point a huge cow blocked the trail (on a single track, nowhere else to go), so i had to yell and make big arms at it. that was interesting.
when i got back to campus (to meet up with andria) i felt so much better, having actually worked out (climbed about 600ft, total ride time was about 45 minutes). kinda scratched up my leg a bit on my crappy pedals (an unfortunate side effect of having giant calves). fell once (at about 2mph uphill), wimped out on one decent, and finally remembered how to ride a mountain bike again :)

Ah yes, the giant calves. Must have been necessary while chasing sheep on the highlands, but now we're cursed with the bulk. Thank you, Celtic ancestors. For nothin!
