The Adventures Never End

OK, so I've been a bit slow at putting anything up here, but that doesn't mean I've not been out playing hard on 2-wheels. Mountain biking up on Moscow Mtn has been at least a weekly if not more...

Here's a typical profile for a few hours of riding Moscow Mtn...

I've been on numerous other semi-epic explorations in the surrounding area and have seen plenty of cool things while out-and-about either on a bike or a horse adventure with Donna...

To my amazement I've had 2-rides with the SeanMan in the last several weeks. The first on was a ride home from Pullman where I got my behind kicked by the SeanMan quite easily (although not justifiably an excuse, I was riding my Gunnar cross bike with fat, knobby tires on the pave while he was on a speedo-like roadbike).

The next ride we did was on the mountain bikes up in the Giant White Pine area. The rain had stopped just before our ride which made for wet, firm trails. We were soaked though in the first 10-minutes of riding from the heavy, wet brush along the trail. Being wet was not a problem and the fun-o-meter was pegged all day along the awesome trails in this area.

Some of the trails were a bit steep and we felt the burn several times to say the least...

The maximum climbing grade % was only 28.4%...the rest was easy...
