riding with the crew
I've been wanting to take the girlies on the rippin' descent off the West Ridge. I rode this a couple of weeks ago and I was whooping and hollering the whole way down. It's not super techy - but it's beautiful, tight, demanding singletrack.
As it worked out it was me, tracy, jason and kim on Saturday.
After a nice little warm-up riding up Little French Gulch - the b!tchy climb that's part of the Firecracker 50 course...(i actually cleaned Little French for the first time - I didn't think that was possible for me but it's amazing what you can do without 17 race miles in your legs)
and a fast and furious descent down American Gulch...
we were pretty pooped afterward. Luckily Dave was done DHing and was able to pick us up at the 7-11 - saving us a 6 mile road slog back to the car. Thanks babe!
