Weekend riding!

Fun Weekend but didn't get to Race. On Saturday I went to a bike demo set up by a local shop. It  was fun except I forgot my mtb shoes and spent the day doing laps on platform pedal with my crocs, a not so stiff "shoe." I did get to ride a bike from Brand X that I've always wanted to ride. It is supposed to be the hardtail killer, the only world champion full suspension bike. I didn't like it, the rear suspension has a weird feel if it isn't fully activated, and the front fork was spongy with the adjustment for which and the bottom of the fork. Sooo...Go GT Zaskar hardtail!! 

Sunday I was supposed to race at the Napa Valley Dirt Classic but I got called into work an overnight due to the remodel we are going through at work. I hoped to get home by 1am and get some sleep but that didn't happen and with two hours of sleep I didn't feel safe driving. I slept in and rode my fixed gear with some friends on the bike trail instead.

Today I rode Forrest Hill after work it was fun. There was some major trail work done, which turned some of the downhills into some weird tight snake turns. But it was fun, and I got a little carried away and washed out in a turn. Crashing the GT for the first time! Good times!
