Been too long since been able to do a ride like this…. A just f’n ride ride. Got through all the trails and then 20’ from the end of the last trail, Upside Down, there is this 4’ tall mass of vines with a tree inside blocking the trail. We would not be stopped!
Went through 7 bottles this time plus one Mexican Coke at lunch.
