Tibble Fork TR - 7/3/07

[KanyonKris]

The day before the Forth of July we had a good ride to celebrate our independence. I was riding pretty good and enjoyed the company. When I last rode Tibble Fork (more than 10 years ago) I remember it being rough and nasty. I was pleased to see the trails is in pretty good shape (just dusty, like almost every trail right now) and a good ride (of course I've improved a bit since then too).

I took a few photos:

Great ride. Pretty dusty, but still a great ride.

To my pleasant surprise, I was able to capture some footage of the trail. My camera was shorting out, but it managed to film the whole ride.

Here's the video:

I'm glad you liked that photo enough to post it here. But to really appreciate it, we need to zoom in (see below). Sure wish I could think of a clever caption - maybe you guys can help me. Here are my lame attempts:

"Yooooww, I think I found that video cable that's been shorting out!"

<singing> "Oh, I'm a mountain biker and I'm OK, I edit video all night and I work all day"

Sombeech demonstrates the proper technique for inhaling your monthly recommended diet of minerals found in trail dust.

I agree! The other side of the same mountain needs to go on the list, it sounds like a good one.
Thanks for another sweet ride :D

Nicely done. And for you folks not in the know, that was AC/DC in 1978 with Bon Scott on vocals.

That video rocks! and so does AC/DC on background. Thanks
