Since our plans to play at the MX track were killed.\u00a0\u00a0 Luis and I went out and rode some single track.\u00a0 I pick him and his bike up, we drove out to the Buckman area and we unloaded.\u00a0 It was another perfect day.\u00a0 Faux winter being one of my favorite NM seasons.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
We didn’t really get off to a great start, not 1 minute from the truck, heading up the first hill.\u00a0 Luis had some trouble and rode off the trail.\u00a0 I didn’t stop, because I figured a. he’s out of the way b. if I do I’ll have to back down the hill and try again.\u00a0\u00a0 I should have stopped.\u00a0 He came back on right in front of me.\u00a0 Me, being a dirt noob, used the front brake and throttle.\u00a0 I stood the bike up, and did a 180 on the rear tire.\u00a0 Don’t ask me how, I managed it.\u00a0\u00a0 Once I was mostly aimed back down the hill, that front brake use caused me to pile drive my left knee into the ground…\u00a0 It took me about 5 minutes to pull it together and attempt to get the bike back up.\u00a0 Only to drop it again, 30 seconds later.\u00a0 Yup, the first 10 minutes were some of the most exciting for the day.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After that I figured we should just keep going, what else could happen?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The worst would be to get lost and not make it back to the truck before dark, right?\u00a0 Well we did get lost.<\/p>\n
Other, then riding almost all the way to White Rock and Pojoaque, we did pretty good.\u00a0 I fell one more time.\u00a0 It was almost as good as the first one.\u00a0 There just wasn’t anyone around to see me laying on my back with the bike on top of me.\u00a0 It funny how sand can get into so many irritating spots.\u00a0\u00a0 It was a very long day, 6.5 hours instead of the 2 we had planned on, but oh well.\u00a0 I had a great time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
