Riding trails again.

We've had a wet summer. Really wet. I've been able to piece together some trail rides over the past few months, but we've got bad wet spots on every trail around here so we get few decent trial rides in, unless you're a ninja or something. That leads to tons of limestone & road rides. Boring, but at least your cranks are turning, right?

There were some highlights though, like the dirt jam at the garden. That was fantastic & the marketing folks really got the media out there. The day was amazing.

So, after settling for the occasional KK ride, I tried Palos on Sunday. The trails were too slick so we bailed and hit the multitrack. Lame. I went out to SWK for the first time in ages today and had such a good ride. The trails are mostly in good shape. There are two trails in the park that are unridable due to water. It was so good to rail singletrack again and have to actually think about each turn as it comes up in order to not crash.

We've got the Meltdown and PBP Dirt Jam coming up and I hope we'll have a dry autumn. I want LOTS of riding time on dirt.
