    That's what really sucks. When you change your plans, get there and realize there is nothing for you to do! :-( I sat in traffic for 2 hrs one day to get to the after hrs service call. As I'm sitting at the security gate they call and cancel the call! :O

    You had mine worried there Mikie!

    4-10's are great! If only they were real and existed in this world - for Supervisors -10's are only an illusion.

    my 10-100's are great! actually I have been getting my 9/80 Fridays lately which is so cool!

    Well Mikie the work delio must have been a drag for sure...I had the time away from the fam so I figured I'd just keep driving
    And give the trail a shot. W..e..l..l being a newbie to the world of off asphalt mountain biking I felt like I was looking at an elephant and thinking
    "I could eat that"! I found the trail head, parked and glanced up at the temp reading on my display..45degrees, oh and a hefty wind
    From the east. Needless to say it was a lot more climbing than I had thought, and as I had read up on the trail, it lived up to the rutty
    Sandy single track I had read about.
    Going at it solo with no real plan of putting on too much distance I climbed to the first real crest of exposure and the wind stood me right up.
    I went a little further and then enjoyed a cold wind induced teary eye single track decent back to the truck.
    I look forward to my next adventure.
