And now for something completely different.......

I'm not much for mountain biking, and what mountain biking I've done is prety much limited to fire roads. I've never done single track, and certainly have never rolled off the top of an 11,059' dormant volcano. So, That's just what I did today. Mammoth Mountain is a world clas ski resort, and it turns out it is a pretty slick bike park in the summer.

It was pretty simple - rent a bike, take the gondola to the top, and let gravity have it's way. The view from the top was spectacular, and this mountain bike stuff is a hell of a lot of fun.
