Sweet:
First mtb ride of the year
Long, technical single track
New to me trails
Super friendly hikers
Hanging out
Jack learning the manual trans pop-start
Less than sweet:
Crashing. First in years. Bmx-style wall ride didn't work out
Huge packs of mountain bikers
100's of hikers
Max forgetting his bike shoes and not being able to ride
Dead car battery
id imagine the line up of people pushing a car to pop start it, jack would be on the pushing end. the other night on my ride home i helped a pair of latino dudes pop start their pickup, though before i started pushing i threw my bike in the bed assuming the added muscle would get me driven somewhere. after we got the truck started i found out pushing does not equal free ride, and they were going the opposite direction. oh well.
wait. jack forgets his shoes, not max!
