Last weekend I joined hundreds of fellow mountain bikers for a Protest Ride at “Missing Trails” Regional Park.
The article linked above gives a little bit about the story. I plan on dedicating more to the trail problems in San Diego County in the near future.
After the protest ride a handful of us worked our way over into Santee to play on some of the real trails in the area. By real I’m mean the city and county had absolutely nothing to do with their creation.

In the category of “Stupid Human Tricks” I was trying to get a low angle looking up shot of Steve going off a rock jump. I have probably taken over a 1,000 pictures of Aqua doing stupid human tricks in the past. I’ve come to know the sound of his bike coming in as planned. That was not the sound I heard on this occasion.
I already started my air raid rollout when Evan got the first shot. Other than a handlebar in the back it was kinda nice getting in a little cuddle action in on the side of the trail.
This was the shot I was originally aiming for. There were tasty post-ride burritos had and Steve even sprung for the burritos!
