November 21st -Bring a Roadie Mountain Biking Day

Today I got Roadie Joe on the Trail. Joe's the fastest Roadie I know, we do quite a bit of road riding together in the summer, he's a good training partner.

Anyway we hooked him up with a bike tonight-yeah why not drag the roadie into the woods in the dark. The trail is a 2000 foot climb followed by a 2000 foot decent and it parallels one of our favorite Road climbs, one in which joe can completely hose me on. Well joe road well. I road a brisk pace, uncomfortable but I let off the gas when it hurt and I was still able to gap him a few times, but he more or less kept up. I was more impressed with the downhills. I wasn't trying to ditch joe but I was moving at a good pace and he kept up with me most of the way, except for a few techy sections, but i think joe will be back on the dirt!
