Getting away from it all


Ahhh,relaxation after a long ride( I know,its a lame pic)

Me and Sam escaped the heat for a day and went up to spirit mt yesterday.The wind was comming off the lake and we were in arm and leg warmers at noon when we started the ride.Chris Fisher and Brendan Moore were camping for the weekend and we also happened to meet Matt Gutowski and wild Bill that morning.It was a nice group and the trails were super fun.They haven't had any rain in 5 days but it was still wet in some spots.We made 2 loops at an hour each and that was enough for Chris,Brendan,Matt,and Bill.I was having so much fun and it was a perfect day so me and Sam went around 1 more time.After comming out of the new single track from last year (the really,really slow stuff)we were about to start the downhill but then ran into the K-J's and a couple of their friends.They took us on some of their secret trails for a while.Which included shouldering the bike up some steep stairs.The calves were not liking that one.But once at the top it was some single track to a stream and we decended along its side to a 4 wheeler trail.Me and Sam took the 4 wheeler trail back to the puker while they continued on.It was alot of climbing back and I made it just before a bonk was about to set in.It was at least a 3 hr ride.Afterwards we went up to the camp site and hung out there for a while.The temperature difference is amazing up there.We were standing around a fire with jackets on, then we came home to 80`.I wish we could've camped with them but with the parents gone we have house duty.
