    Skill level is advanced if you try to ride everything. I don't try to ride into the rocky drainage, so I may not be "advanced." Likewise, any section of the ride can be dismounted and walked down. The possibility of falling on your ass while walking, though, does exist.

    It's harder to walk some sections with MTB shoes.

    @mike, what's the matter with you, bud? No one ever wants to join a ride you're hosting. Have you thought about a Floop rendezvous?

    I like this part: "Do slow movement to evocative music and allow yourself to feel." I think I'm going to work that into my riding style.

    I wish I could join you on more of your rides Commander! Living on the far side of the sun prevents that...
