So one week after getting thumped really good out in Alpine, I was back out there. This was sort of a test to see how my knee was going to be since I had a big ride planned for a few days later and it was a little tender. The climb when as expected but the knee was uncomfortable by the time we reached the top. (Actually, some part of me is nearly always “uncomfortable” by the time I get to the top). Enough yapping here are some pictures.
This thing is steeper than it looks. I swear it looks to be easier as a huck. Steve is always impressive out here.
I hit the “Cornroll”. It is not a bad roller at all but it does mess with you visually as you have to do a quick get up move over the crest of rock which requires you to get up on the front of the bike a bit before getting sliding behind the bike for the roll.
Frankie aka “Monkey Butt” joined us for the ride today.
More Chucnk Play

I think this one goes into the “Stupid Human Tricks” Catergory.
I had not really planned on doing much of the stunts today with the knee and all but I ended up giving a few things a go. This bit is a roller or it can be launched. I had always rolled it before, but today I worked on launching it. It took me several tried to get enough balls hit with speed, but it felt really good when I did manage to pull it off. It was cool to make some unplanned progess.
Nice Evening Light
Final Words – Another Great Day on the Bike!
