| | | Our garage was better stocked than most bike shops. |
| |
| | | it seems every morning starts with a climb. |
| | | It's a middle chain-ring, 45 minute climb. |
|
| | With temps near 45, a warm up felt good. |
| | | The occasional downhill was a welcome break. |
| | | Gathering at the top, talking about the downhill to come. |
|
| | We had to keep moving to stay warm, |
| | | but the downhill was fantastic, with banked turns, |
| |
| | | The beautiful colors were breathtaking, |
| | | as was hitting 24 mph on the slopes. |
|
| | If you had the guts, you could pedal for more speed |
| | | | Kevan picks a rock to take back home. |
|
| | View from the quarry rim. |
| | | | Dropping out of the quarry, |
|
| | we hit our first slick rock. |
| | | | Holly dodges a sudden drop. The leaves hid the rocks. |
|
| | Valerie was our very excellent guide for the day. |
| | | Kevan climbing Cedar Mountain. |
| | | Kim was keeping our guide in sight. |
|
| | Rich weaves across the solid rock. |
| | | We stopped here for lunch |
| | | because of the wonderful view. |
|
| | Now the downhill race starts. |
| | | Rudy is ahead of the pack - for now. |
| | | These rock paths go on forever. |
|
| | Sometimes the transverse can be slick if wet. |
| | | Ken was loving the challenge. |
| |
| | |
| | If I go fast my feet won't get wet. |
| | | Barry contemplates our stream crossing. |
| | | Ice cold water and a slimy green bottom. Stay focused. |
|
| | Trying to maintain balance with the current was difficult. |
| | | Half way across, my feet went numb. |
| | | On to the next adventure. |
|
| | You could hear the water's roar through the woods. |
| | | Right away people began climbing the falls. |
| | | Above was a second set of falls. |
|
| | Ken crossed the stream under the falls. |
| | | | OK, enough with the cold water. |
|
| | Dave contemplates getting his feet warm. |
