cycling (mountain) 1:10:00 [4]
The most intense mountain biking EVER!!! and I don't have to drive 30min to get there either! one set of trails is right by the river and it's full of poison ivy, but it's a blast. there's a loop with tons of sharp turns and a big log right across the trail which is almost impossible to get over. Eric and do it, but I have yet to master it. We timed it twice, and the first time I was exactly 2min, and the second was 1:53. Then we biked over to Hampton Park to explore those trails and discovered this pit with a jump! You can get sooo much air on it it's crazy. Almost flipped once cause I had so much speed and my back wheel just flew up! Also found another pit with a jump with a hole just on the other side. We figured that you had to get enough air on the jump to make it over the hole, and if u didn't, well, your front wheel would go down into the hole and you'd go flying over the handlebars. Fortunately, neither of us had that experience! Made up another loop that had the crazy jump over the pit, then a sprint down the gravel pathway, and onto this ridge which is nearly straight down on one side (people go down there, but we're not that crazy and if we ever did i'm sure we'd go right across the trail at the bottom and into the rhubarb!) Going along the ridge you can get so much speed, and then you come out at the pit and go down a big hill, around the bottom and then back up again. My time was 3:48, and Eric was 3:41. Really excited to go try it again, but we had to get home so I could babysit my cousin.
