The last two days I have been getting out some aggression on some of Pinecrest's finest downhill. I didn't think I would ever enjoy Hemlock. After a second run and with the addition of the lower trail Juniper, I have to admit I had a blast. It is without a doubt the hardest stuff I have ever ridden. After those two extremely demanding trials Lucas and I finished off with Dome and lower PCP. I was so tired I could barely hold on. Katie got to try out her new Intense on the lower stuff with us. After freezing her ass off for an hour waiting for us to stop sliding down granite. She worked that bike on Dome's worst and cleared some new sections. Its amazing what the right bike will do to your confidence.
Today I took Sean and Bobby down Sunrise and PCP. I found out that Sean had only ridden PCP once and never Sunrise. Unfortunately I was still pretty worked from the day before. No speed records today. Killer ride none the less.
I don't think Bobby's wife is going to let him ride with me anymore. He seems to come back bleeding a lot. A simple crash in the sand and he's off to the hospital for 8 stitches. Never slowed him down though.
Lucas and I posing in front of the trails name sake on Juniper.
Lucas is going to be mad at me for this but its not often I get to see him make a mistake, especially on camera. We filled that whole in so maybe next time it wont eat his wheel.
This blog was originally started to track the use and destruction of bike parts, so I have to spew a little about Avid Code disk brakes. I put these brakes on my Uzzi not long after I bought it. When they work they are incredible. Unfortunately it seems like they demand constant attention and bleeding. Now I can't even bleed the front one. There must be something stuck internally. I searched online and I am not the only one having this problem. The rebuild kit retails for $55, Lame. Both levers are now touching the bars so I am out of options.
