That's what my weekend was like. Wake up around 5:30 strap on the lights and hit the road Sat. morning for a nice not very wet, and suprizingly warm (around 38 to 40 deg.) ride. Then went into work and we were actually busy in the rental shop! Sweet!! The day went by pretty fast but I was in bed really really early like 8pm. Weird.
Got up at 6 the next morning for a very different ride. Hit the MTB up in Capital Forest and it typical C.F. style i hit every type of weather possible. It was sunny at the base about half way up the hill it started to rain not to badly though, but at the top it was just a blizzard of snow!! about an inch fell on the road just while I was on it, and at the peak there was a good 2 inches. The trip down was needless to say chilly but the trails are in awsome shape right now. Just wet with puddles but not too much sticky mud that gets everywhere. I came stright from the mountain to work, I could have really used a shower! My toes were still numb from my ride earlier that morning.
Monday I didn't have to work or go to school! Sweet!!! So I hit the trails again, this time it was supposed to be a shop ride that about 6 of us were supposed to go. But just as I was leaving my drive way Heather called me to ask it I was still in?? Ahhhh why would I miss a MTB ride?? I aked. Well come to find out half of our crue a bailed out due to bad weather... LAME... I hope all of you read this!!!! Ok given it was just over frezzing, rain/snowing, and 7 am in the morning, but still, WUSSIES!!!! So Heather Ian and I shuttled to the peak and rode trail 30 down, a little cold at first but after you get moving you were paying more attention to the gnraly trail than the cold. The trail was in great shape lots of deep puddles good fun. Although but the time we got to the bottom it did start to get a little chilly.....
So now for the trip back up, it got very interesting... We had to fit 3 of us in my car with all of our gear. Also I only have space on the top of my car for 2 bikes and my trunk is barely big enough for maybe one bike w/ the handlebars taken off. But we all fit and got up to the top fine. But then our next issue was that on the way up the gas light on the shop truck came on.... so we didn't know what would happen on the way back down. So we got to the bottom of the hill, and just to add some more excitement, Ian and I (in my car) pulled off so we could follow Heather in the truck to make sure she made it back to the shop. Well as I pulled off I hit a good size bump and what do you know my bike falls off my car!! which would usually be my stupid fault for not securing it up there right, but come to see the whole rack had BROKEN off my car!!! WOW. The metal piece that holds it onto the bars broke! So we take the whole rack off and jam it into the back of my already loaded Tempo. Finally on our way we make it back into town and everyone and everything gets back ok. Crazy. Well thats all for now off to do some homework. Late.
