Nothing is easy with you, is it?
I did the ski slope thing.....holy shit!!
It seems that riding down ski slopes is a young man's sport. It was like 5 minutes of terror then a nice pleasant chair lift ride back to the top. I think I burned right through those new brakes.
Then the guy at the top tells me that there are trails over there >, but be careful, they are logging there. Well holy shit, nothing but a mud pit and there is no such thing as going back up this monster hill. I had to be careful not to get the shoes sucked off my feet in the mud.
The trails were way out of my class, damn teeter totters and shit in the woods and walls to ride sideways on and stuff, fuck that.
I decided on my last run down to go straight down the slope where they ski, holy fuck is that steep!!!
Skidding down all the way, ripping up weeds and grass and rocks, I had my stomach on the seat and my ass almost touching the back tire, the back wheel locked up, as much front brake as I dared to pull and trying to keep from getting all twisted up in ruts and unseen shit on the slope.
However, I had a pretty tasty burger in the lodge thingy.
Needless to say, my down hill career is over, I will stick to driving slow on the driveway...I mean trails and road riding.
