Started at noonish and rode:
1, 8, 9, 12, 15, 14, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 1
The most noticible thing about trails were that they were DRY! When riding BLUE, I lost site of my buddy through the dust cloud. My bike has a nice brown haze to it now. Every map I passed seemed to be in order except 7, I think, which was partially smashed and the map was missing. Other than that, the trails seemed in great shape, and much fun was had.
There were a few riders that stood out:
- Father with sons. As we were packing to go, a father with his sons were packing as well. It appeared that one of the sons may have had a tough ride, and the father was doing a great job of showing encouragement/support. It was a very cool sight. Hopefully this is something that they will do for many years to come.
- Hybrid guy without helmet. I can see wanting to try mtbing before you invest in proper equipment, but at least have a helmet.
- MTB guy without helmet. Same group has hybrid guy, spent his money on wrong equipment.
- Purse girl. Nuf said. Same group as other two.
- Loose chinstrap kid. Helmet? Check! Buckled? Check! Baseball Cap under helmet? Check! Stap so long that might hook on belt buckle? Double Check!
