Yeah. It was really hidden, and you can't se the start unless you follow it up from another part of the trail, or know it's there like we do now. Excellent trail fairy work, and a very sustainable piece of riding too.
Here's some pics of the rest of the weekend:
Yours truly.
The "Monkey Bucket" on the way home. Dig the sweet bike carrier huh?
Nice. You're a hucker after all luek.

Good call. . . Cant wait until November 2!!!!!!
I just finished my traditional (3 weeks in a row, I think) after school ride with my friend Paul. We went to our usual pizza place, then we went to wally world and played around with the bikes ("fixed" the brakes on one of them). Tomorrow I think we are going to a place called Ceasers Creek.

Just rode at Ceases Creek. I think its probably the best place to ride at around here. One crash by Paul, and one crash that honestly isnt my fault. I broke my 3rd brake cable sense I bought the bike. Now on cable 4. I was going fast down a hill when I grabbed a hand full of brake to slow for the up coming sharp down hill left hander. There was no way I could slow down enough for the corner with my rear brake so I punched two trees and rolled over a log, but I stayed on the bike. Because of my awesome hackness, I had a spare cable (it was a rear so I taped up the extra on the fork). Over all a sweet ride.

Well these are from 2 weeks ago at Highland Mountain Bike Park in New Hampshire. It was my first time there and I was extremely impressed. I am going back this weekend, despite the 3 hour drive. We didnt get many pictures (Too busy riding), but here are a few.

Got to Hook up with a forum member (the Extremist) for a ride Sat. It was a great time meeting him and his father.
A quick stop at lake Henry.
He has crazy XC stamina
Other riders enjoying the day

Today I was just riding around when i had 5 spare minutes. I slowed down to endo, then i endo'd but my shoes slipped off the pedals going forward, making my butt slam into my top tube. Not fun at all.

Beautiful Day on the Menomonee River
About 70 degrees, Sunny and the leaves are just starting to change. Logged about 15 miles today, 75% offroad, 25% road riding.
