rockhopper

today, was the first exploration of a little single track in rothrock, on the rock hopper. i've ridden my share of fire roads, but never trails. we conquered rocks and roots (small ones of course) and a few small logs (branches)... and it was awesome. i got to roll down a rocky stretch of gettis which was a blast although my quads burned at the bottom. i also attempted my first stretch of single track in the forest - longberger. a laid back rolling ride which was a perfect place to start. naturally, the above picture is not where i road today, but the character is the same. there was a slight breeze and plenty of sun bringing plenty of smiles.

it's funny how a somewhat downer day can all of a sudden transform into a great one after just a few hours on the bike. all is forgotten. all is good.
