I worked half a day because Calabazas Grand Opening was supposed to be today but it had been postponed until they make it safer. I decided I would drive up 9 and then either stop at the gap or go along skyline until I saw something I wanted to ride. I saw a spot at gap so i stopped and parked. i didn't feel like driving for who knows how long. It was sunny but kind of cold. I had only my shorts and red shirt. I started riding up the trail and was tired really quickly which I was afraid of and also my knees were hurting after dirt biking last weekend too. But after I got up that first initial hill and started cruising down i had so much fun. i wasn't going fast at all. just cruising. it was great. a few people on the trail but since i was going so slow it didn't matter. felt fine except it was cold. the trail right before skyline was so nice. got to skyline and there were cars everywhere. where is all the people? cross the road and climb up some more which was tougher than it used to be. not riding so much really has an effect. rode up the fireroad and down just cruising, enjoying being out there. so nice. oh i was pretty cold though. it was breezy andi sure wished i had some more clothing. went down peters creek which was cool. it was nice going so slow. peaceful. i really love the bicycle is what i thought. cruised some more and wow the area was so beautiful in this one spot wiht the creek and all the plants and ferns. i wish i had my camera several times because i just had a smile of happiness on my face for almost the whole ride. eventually i had to start to climb to skyline again. kinda tired. got to skyline and wanted to ride more but didn't want to get to carried away so i just rode back on skyline to the first parking lot which was so crappy. i mean really crappy. got back on the trail and all was good again. i had to walk at 2 spots for a short distance. my legs were tired and i couldn't get over some rocks in the trail. got back to my truck and went home. i drove slow down 9 too.i sure wasn't in any rush today. I drove by calabazas and they had a park ranger there and maybe a cop to keep us out. i was hungry and ended up at the drive through at carls jr. i got a siroin something burger. it came in this big bag and then some big ass container. I got home and watched a movie and ate the burger which was actually really good. surprising good. all sorts of junk on it. i like the bread whatever it was.
Oh yeah I went to Maywood yesterday more to see how my knees felt more than anything. there were some dirtbag punk kids there. 4 on bikes and 3 sitting on the berm in the back. leader of the group gave me attitude right from the start. he goes up to his buddies and says he has a 2 thousand dollar bike and won't jump anything. whatever. i go to the front and jump the crappy jump after the berm and the kids come over and i jump it some more. the leader says something like didn't you used to ride here before. yeah. didn't you and some other guy build all these jumps. yeah...all these jumps are shit now though. i ride off to hit the new crappy jump and then leave.
