Mueller Park TR - 7/17
It was a great night, except for the fact I smashed my camcorder. How? A tree? Rock? Amazing endo?
No.
It fell out of my helmet when I pulled it out of the truck, onto the pavement. I give up. But this means no more video from me, for a very long time. $$$
[/sob story]
So, KanyonKris, PunchKing, accadacca, caburt, and I had a pretty good ride tonight in the rain. The weather scared away 90% of the crowds tonight, and we probably saw only 2 other bikers on the trail.
The temperature was nice. The rain was just a drizzle. The clouds were cool, and the thunder rolled in the distance. We kept trying to catch a lightning bolt on camera, but no luck. We kept missing by half a second.
KanyonKris made it to the Flats, and the rest of us just "regulated" on the big rock.

Dude, bummer on the camera. Sorry to hear that. Methinks it was a conspiracy by those RIAA cronies...

As a side note, why don't you try a smaller camera that can mount directly on your helmet so you don't have to have a lipstick camera and then the camcorder? I realize the lipstick has its functions, but for mt. biking, there are some pretty nice little 8 ounce cameras that do a good job...

But now it doesn't matter, because I still need to buy another camcorder for home videos.

My first time on this trail - wow - it's certainly one of the best in the state! The rain was actually nice - refreshingly cool, but not cold - especially since it's been so hot. The trail didn't get muddy, just wet - a few places water was running down it. It was nice to essentially have the trail to ourselves - I didn't see anyone after 5 miles until I met you guys at Elephant Rock. I hope you guys didn't wait long. It was so quiet on the upper trail - just me and the bike - serenity now. I had an OK pace going and made it up in just over an hour. Those clouds were sure threatening looking - good thing the lightning went to the north and we didn't get really poured on. Going down was like a long roller coaster ride - doesn't get much sweeter. Thanks for arranging the group ride and letting me go ahead - I really wanted to ride the whole thing since it will probably be a while before I get to ride it again. This ride put a big grin on my face!
Sorry to hear about the camcorder - bummer.

I can't help it! It's a syndrome! I always get caught with my eyes closed. Here are my pics from the ride. It was a lot of fun and definitely a great trail for less confident riders :) It did get a little muddy though, and I've got the pics to prove it.

I wish I could have joined you guys. Wasn't feeling much like riding yesterday. I was down at the Bountiful Costco looking up at the Rock which was right under a HUGE double rainbow.
Next time.

This picture lets me know that my oreo cookie diet is paying off.
So, Kid, you think you got what it takes to be a Punch King?
