On the singlespeed. Accompanied by Raphael, The Believer, Trucker, Billiam and J, J, J. Explored some new trails that haven't been mapped yet. Very dusty. Two flats and one small group of misplaced riders. I got stung by a damned bee.

On the Giant Trance X1. Accompanied by Trucker, the Believer, two single and twenty-nine engineers, Laser Cats, Don Adams, Fiatissimo & Billiam. Some really big trees down, but the trail is in great shape. We spent some time playing around on the granite slabs. A great afternoon ride!

On the singlespeed for the first time in months. Accompanied by Trucker, the Believer, Raphael, & Billiam. Lots of new trails since last time I rode up there. Dusty, very dusty. It was great to his some fresh pow-pow, the trail is retarted! We didn't even ride all of the new stuff, we ran out of daylight.
