TM trail ride 1 Jun 2008

June 1, 2008

I’m blogging from my sis’s laptop now. It has bluetooth! Therefore we have photos!

Today I had my first encounter with a steep climb and a dropoff. I crashed a few times (as usual) but did not break anything :) However my back hurts now…. and I have lots and lots of washing up to do.

If you go trail riding, it’s worth it to invest in a pair of MX boots. Today my leg got trapped under my bike and I rolled a few times before stopping. If I hadn’t been wearing MX boots, I’d probably have a bad sprain or a torn tendon. Instead I was able to walk away from the bike and later get on it, start it and continue riding.

Here’s a photo of lonely Knut. I didn’t include the photos of the rest cause I didn’t ask their permission.
