Little Granite goodness

Did the tech combo of 37 to its end to 38 to 39 down to the moto trail climb(620). All in all a 2: 20 minute climb without a lot of breaks.

The flowers are going off and I did stop to gawk and photo a bit. Unfortunately, posting from work does not allow photos.

This loop is awesome, and it is a pity I don't do it more often. 37 is techy, but 38 is relentlessly techy. Even going down, I have never been able to clean it without crashing, to say nothing of the dabs. Yesterday was nt exception with one big OTB incident (on the uber slack Lunchbox!). Minimal harm done, especially since I forgot my helmet and opted to ride without it (but with full gear otherwise). Yeah, stupid. "Let's do the techiest ride in these parts, way out away from any help alone with no helmet." Oh well, at least I don't smoke.

This trail is really fun. I also found myself not as wiped out from the moto climb as I have been in the past. Better fitness? Or no helmet? Either way, I would have been up for more if I had the time.

I was able to enjoy this great story on China's one child policy on NPR during the ride home even.
