Hey fellow mtb'ers, I have to say I'm just posing right now. You can tell when you see me(legs have shrunken by half and belly increased by 2.I still feel as strong as a gorilla(look like one too) but , it ain't right. I used to ride out in Malibu(double track and some single track) , Turnbol Canyon( single track like a roller coaster with some bmx jumps after blind corners going downhill) . But my favorite was just 2 miles down the hill from my house, in Laguna . Aliso Creek/Wood Canyon is the bomb. Several trails from mild to WILD! That morning ride comment made me remember the smell of wild sage bushes, jack rabbits, bobcats , rattlesnakes and MOUNTAIN LION PRINTS! ahh I have to, get on this bike again. Nothing like being in the groove down a single track trail, bunny-hopping creeks. You know, writing about riding is like writing about carving . It's just not the same. You kind of just have to be there.
