Some Elves Can Fly - 27 Dec - Swansea Village Park

  • Riders: Chris (now known as "Supercross") and OMMB
  • Miles: 8.6
  • Weather: cloudy, but mild
  • Temp: 47
  • Trail Conditions: surprisingly slippery, must have frozen overnight, then thawed  
  • Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: an outstanding double pirouette by Chris, I'd say it was a "whoops"...slid out on the very first tight turn, neatly laid the bike down, planted his hand, and spun around twice...it was precious..lol 
  • GPS Track:



Notes: Did a few loops with the speedy, hoppy, jumpy, balancing Chris today.  He's a one man circus show on a mountain bike!  Very entertaining to watch, no need for those tricky bike videos on You Tube.  We hit the usual areas, although slippery, and added some new stuff that "Supercross" had not ridden yet.  Like the Ridge Trail (which he really ate up with no chance for scruffy old dude to keep up) and what I'm calling "John's Loop" (for now).    Great ride...good time.

Tidbits: Strange sight...a rider that Chris knew with his dog tied to the bike stem.  The dog seemed to love pulling him along.  hmmmm...can you say "SQUIRREL"? 

Happy Trails,
OMMB
