That is cool that you were able to make a run someplace different Mix, how much time and distance did you get in?

About 4 hours before it started raining. I was 25ft from Lake Michigan in that photo. Most of the trails were pretty tame but I did find a pretty good down hill on the Tower Trail. The bike was a Giant and was pretty much crap, but I made it work. It had a bottom bracket issue that made it sound like a bad wheel chair. Shifted OK and the brakes were good.
I found this thing at the edge of the woods and shore. At about 20 feet tall. It is a ship marker.

Dreams are made of that...wreck diving and mtb riding, I don't think it could get any better ! Issues with the bike had to be better than looking out the window wishing you could go ride.

The bike is but after kids I lost my legs,heart and lungs so I can no longer push her in the woods like I did years back but will never get rid of my baby. She is a sub 20 pound bike and I bet with some of the new technology I could drop more weight.
