Riding

So we went riding this afternoon.... we did 305 at Lynx Lake. We have found a new route that we enjoy.  We ride up it about 6 miles then we ride down 1/2 way cross the road and do another section over there.  This section is not quite as hard as the other side but it is fun.  It has swooping down hills some technical climbs and then a nice steep hill to go down at the end.  Andy took a picture of me coming down it but it doesn't do it justice on just how steep it really is. 

We also went with our friend Wade, he is a local fire fighter here in Prescott.  He is pretty good on the mountain bike but he likes road biking more... he puts in 300+ road miles a month!!!!  CRAZY!!!  

Tuesday we went to Granite and rode with Toby, I got a flat tire coming down a hill but Andy my great mechanic fixed and we off once more.   

We are working on my skills on the bike, like how to climb technical stuff, turning smoothly, not using the brakes as much going down hill, and to get faster.  So each time we go out we practice.  I think I am getting better.. I am getting a litter faster and I can make some tight turns that I couldn't before.   

We took Jessi with us.  The poor thing, she was so tired.  She was up all day because we took in with us in the morning and she rode in the car with me to my appointments . Then at 2pm it was time to hit the trail.  By the end she was just trotting and that was the best she could do.  

This weekend we are off to PHX for Todd's b-day and ride on Sunday!!!
