You know why he has that hairpin move down so perfectly? He must've done 500 of 'em the week before ...

The terrain around here isn't as dramatic as Utah but I'm probably missing something cool. Even if I am a total wuss on the trail.And a PMC Challenge update - The total of donations from FC readers + matching funds from Elden reached $1500 over the weekend, so it's jersey time - more details here. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read this and then this. Thank you for your generous support!JLS Elden – maybe I should give MTBing another go.

I can use one of my favorite words in context now: Good on you for your clever neologism. BIg Mike-- Except somehow it always seems to be headwind out AND back. How is this possible? You're the physics guy around here.... The people demand explanation. Ooh! I can use one of my favorite words in context now: Good on you for your clever neologism.

I'm not sure what, but it's a lot.   "climbing first, descending later"... I subscribe to this theory 100%.  And it's non-vertical equivalent; headwind out, tailwind back.

There were so many 'huge grin' sections of trail that to describe them would sound like total hyperbole. In fact, only "chocolatiest" comes close.   I actually felt pretty good at the end of the ride.  Three hours later, even my eyelids were cramping up.   As for technical skill, I noticed that you're as good as I am on uphill technical sections.
