Riding, Riding and Riding

Wed night.
Mountain bike ride, of course I have not ridden true off road in about 3 years, so this is gonna be fun. The day was dry, I borrowed a Yakima Team Bike - Kona King ($3000 full suspension, lightweight bike). Loaded up the bikes on the car, drove to the woods, where you are not allowed to ride bikes, waited till nightfall so no one would catch us - Headlights on. Of course 5 mins before starting to ride, it starts to rain, and it's been rainy the past few days... hence lots of mud.
We rode for about 3 hours, 2 1/2 in the dark, going only by electronic headlights...kinda scary when you are riding narrow trail through woods, really fast!

Kona - "The King"
Sweet Bike with post ride dirt!
As you can see - Pretty Dirty!
The Team Yak

Thursday
Lunch ride, road. Dry all morning, roll out, team ride, fast pace for an hour, several hills, then oh guess what, it starts raining for a minute, the hail, we climbed about 1000ft and the hail was in your face on the descents... not awesome.

Other than that, everything else is
