Dry Fork to High Point...almost

Clifford and I set out for a ride after work today. We almost made it to high point when we encountered cattle in the road. The 2 Cows blocking the single track didn't look like they wanted to move and I had no idea how they would react to Clifford so we turned around. Good thing we did, Clifford is out of shape and couldn't keep up on the way back.

Felt excellent, lots of power in the legs, did dry fork in a tougher gear then normal.

First day clearing Telegraph

Today I rode from the 3rd street trailhead up Telegraph around sidewinder onto cowboy into big canyon and then took the road back to the Jeep. Met another Mountain Biker just before the top of Telegraph and finished the ride out with him. Lots of fun!

Oh yah and I cleared Telegraph from parking lot to the top without any dabbing!

Felt very strong tonight on the climb.
