Short-list crew rode St. Louis last night, only Root, Ckucky, and me. JT was just back from Kauai, and Chris was in birthing class. Rode the cliffside trail, the main line, and 2-jumps down, then went back up to the powerline pole and hit the center trail to the junction with the switchback climb up from Hypodermics. Rode all the way back up to the mainline and rode down the old way. I (nobody?) didn’t feel like riding all the way back up the inner loop to do Dumps, but we ended up still having to suffer on the agave climb. Dirt was dry but grippy – not dusty and loose like last Monday. Don’t have the bike here, so no computer, but if memory serves me, Vmax on the trail was 21.9mph. Root took some pics, so they should be up in the gallery eventually…
On the way back to McB, checked out the sideways tree on University Avenue. Looks like a good spot for photos. Mr. Low-rent who lives in the building next to the tree started tweaking when he saw Ckucky’s HID – probably thought the aliens or HPD was outside.
25 April 2007 – just checked the computer, and it was a measly 4.5-mile ride! Vavr was 8.0mph.
