So, a few years back we bought these "Griz Guides" for area mtn biking trails. At first my skills just weren't there but with time, I've improved. We've done a few of the rides in the book now and I have to say, these books need to be renamed to the Uphill Mtn biking guides.
We hit the trails yesterday in search of a new adventure and we got it. Going into Rothrock, you know that you are going to be gutting it out over the mtns but oye! It was a great skill builder, by the time the technical section came around, I was so tired from the climbing that I didn't have the energy to get scared and foul up. One little fall with a chain ring track in the leg and a flat tire but All in all a great ride!
