Today was such a nice day, maybe thats why the parking lot at Freedom was full of cars with bikes. Lots of people riding the trails, wich is good to see. Everyone liked the new trail, including me. Freedom has such a good variety, smooth, fast, flowing single track, downhill, uphill, and now skinnies, jumps, and drops! Ththe newest trail starts with a real steep technical climb thats super fun. Lots of bumps and moguls on the climbs and decents for the first 2 or so miles. Some you can get air on. Near the end of the 3.2 mile addition Mike Benton and his crew put in some drops, jumps, and a fun skinny. A skinny is a narrow bridge, usually a 2x4 or a 2x6. The length and height off the ground can vary. I did not ride the drops on my carbon xc bike, in other words I chickend out. Good job to the whole EVMA for a fun addition to a already excelent trail. Without Kirk, Penny, and all the other hard workers we wouldnt have all these places to ride. After 1 lap of the old trail and 2 laps of the new trail, we were ready for lunch!
12 or so of us headed to Sacred Grounds for chow. This is a Coffee shop with good food also. A Matcha iced tea, and a chicken salad salad was what I needed. Good food, good people, good conversation. How about hitting New Quarter park on the way back?
L.D. and I Made our way to N.Q. park. Being tired, we could only manage one lap. I did ride the raised trail for the first time, and it was fun. The trail here was in good shape, and there were a few people riding here too.
It was Chocolate milk time! Stopped by Wawa on the way home. We were wore out. It was a good day.
