Yes, Still Riding . . .

Yes!
We're still riding -- on all types . . .

It's been a while since we've last posted. During this lag time we've been finding new riding areas in and around Fort Lewis and Kennedy Creek . . . for single track! We are really fortunate in Olympia. Today, two of us traveled all of 10 minutes away from Olympia and rode single track out at Fort Lewis (areas 22, 21, 19) for 2+ hours -- which left us speechless. Reason being, the trails were all drained with no standing water after the last couple days of rain! We’re not talking about lame single-track here. These are some of the best technical and “puzzle-like” navigational pieces around and the other “J” likened it to Bend’s single track (only a little damper). But, we get to ride it all year around and not have snow to contend with.

On another note, J & J were bad. We’ll have to confess to our wives later as we bought ourselves some new ¾ Venture Endure mountain bike knickers. Check out http://www.wiggle.co.uk/. They have by far the best price. Also, had to try the Strike winter glove. We think we do know what we’re getting for Christmas and Easter, and birthday……. Thankfully, I can deflect any blame to J. “Hey, J was complaining about how shoddy I was looking with all the holes and besides, he got the same thing.” There is safety in numbers.
