This will look a lot like last week, but it is a different trail. Lots of deer, snakes and a turkey.

A huff n puff climb, some gravel bombing, a fire tower, a downed tree crossing, the guardrail of death ride and of course, the celebratory IPA:thumb: Oh, and a good tune at the end;)

I am planning on moving in about a year, you can take my place :-) Where did you live?

Hmm, the heavy breathing just ain't as exciting when a dude does it.:D

Speak for yourself! :p:D Great video! I loved it. It reminded me of one of iforgotmename's videos, and of course I loved the raw footage.

I'm the master of heavy breathing climbing videos, so this video was right up my alley. ;):D

That's what I'd like to know. I miss the sense of humor, support, and great videos he contributed. :(

I lived in the Lombard area, on the outskirts of Chicago. It was nicer then, they apparently developed the entire area since then and the woods I remember are gone now.

I live in Texas now, too hot for me.

Nice video! Glad you have a great place to ride. And you have to do the outer rail portion.. you have to!
