1st outside ride of the season

The warm weather tonight was a blessing. The wind only made the workout effect well, harder. What a nice turnout of friends for the first ride, I believe at least 11. Lots of strong riders and great smiles to be out on a nice warm night (66 deg F).

I tried to pull a Rotauch but it ended spectacularly. I jumped a few twigs on the trail then had to try the bigger stick. From experience, I wouldn't recommend this trick if the trail curves right after. I made the trick went off the trail, front tire sunk in the ground, I made a nice front flip (with the bike) and managed to avoid the trees (thumbs up). Luckily the sticks and soft ground broke my fall (I just wish that I would have had the video). I have been keeping my guardian angel busy this year with the skiing and now off road biking adventure (thanks for keeping me safe despite myself).

Biking out doors is really great! Oh by the way, the bike and I are doing fine.
Neil happy 40th!!
