Pontiac is dialed

After spending about a week off of the bike (well at least no outdoor riding for a week) I decided to give PLRA a try. Some Freds had posted on the MMBA bulletin board that the whole trail was rideable but U never know how reliable that info is so I had to find out for myself. DC was taking the day off. It is his new routine..no riding on Wednesdays only rest and since I figured it was to cold for Kid Carbon or the Wiz I was forced to ride alone which isn't bad at all . The only thing I worry about this time of the year is wiping out and breaking something then being forced to try and get out of the trail by myself so I always take my cell phone. But anyway enough of the safety lesson. The worst part about today's ride was getting out of the parking lot. The wind always rips across the lake and it seems about 20 degrees colder in the lot but once out on the trail it was awesome. The snowbilly's packed most of the horse trails down and the normal MTB trails were perfectly packed. The only problem I had was around the old Blonski's bypass (our winter route) as hardly anyone had been back there and the snow was unpacked. Once I got back on the regular trail it was all rideable and I made it up every hill without getting off or falling. It was so much fun I may bypass skiing tomorrow to ride the trails again..TC P.S. thanks to the Rooster for the history lesson but I still don't believe he knows who Ted Gray was.
