Yep... More exploring in the Etoniah State Forest on da mountain bike. Right from the get go it was uphill in a bit of loose sand. Both knees didn't like that so much and were complaining util I got warmed up a bit. By the time I got warmed up a bit.... I really hit a trail/path that had lots of sand.... I think it was a steady incline in sand for about 3/4 of a mile... Good workout I must say. After a couple more miles of the sand I was kind of getting tired of it.... Got to this one spot slight uphill lots of sand... going slow... hit more sand.. Fell down.... LOL .... A sweaty fall into sand means that stuff sticks on you for the rest of the ride... DOH!! Eventually found some nice trails and forest roads... Had a GREAT ride.. 1hr 57 mins ... 15.2 miles.. Sand is slow going... That included about 1/2 mile of walking....

Good spot for a rest...


I was watching the raccoons watch me. They were kind of hard to capture with the camera... kind of far away.
