Bell MT

 Sean and I decided to ride Bell Mt. an the Uzzis today. I think the big bikes were actually slower on the downhill. My Solstice felt way more maneuverable and never felt over its head.

Still an awesome loop. It seemed a lot easier this time, after riding the Tebb's death climb last weekend.

Tebbs suffer fest

 Dan Tebbs ( the owner of Victory Velo in Auburn) is famous for 5 and 6 hour sufferfests. I have officially survived my first one. We climbed from Meyers to the top of Freel pass and rode down Armstrong trail followed by Sidewinder and Corral trail. The climb up has set a new bar for Sean and I.  I think the only other trail that comes close is Ape Canyon.

The loop is amazing. Worth all the gain.
