Glory

The wicked weather that we've been enduring here in the Mid-Tenn basin thankfully took a turn for the better in the last couple of days. With a high temp of fifty-five degrees and some partly cloudy skies Mikey P, the Guru and I took the advantage and got to spend a couple of hours this afternoon in the woods on our trials bikes. We spoke to the Trials-rooster prior to heading out and he kindly wished us a fall in the creek, cranky little so-and-so.....

It's really eye-opening to ride in the woods during this time of year. The foliage is so sparse that you can see ditches and rock gardens that you normally would just ride past because of them being so obscured. We found at least three new areas that will be sections for ITSA trials in twenty-eleven.

The Guru showed me a couple of lines that I had screwed up during the trials and the traction was great this afternoon. It was great to get out there and dust off the cob-webs, stretch the old leg muscles and let the brain have not nary a thought but riding. Glory.

Happy New Year all! Roll on 2011.....
