No plans just riding!

I decided to ride the Oiz again to continue getting more comfortable on it. I did a combo of road/gravel/singletrack riding today...a little exploration to keep it fun.

Here are some pics and thoughts...

Notice the little boy of the right rigging up his fishing pole...that was your boy about 17yrs ago...as soon as i could get out of the house, i was fishing....i even probably fished right where he was at one point...got to love some fishing!

I have pasted "Dunaway Lane" for years...today i decided to go down it. I found some gravel roads, 4wheeler trails and this sweet little swimming hole with a zip slide...not sure if i'd give it a go now, but 10yrs ago, you bet! Or maybe i would have just brought my girlfriend out there and made out all day!
Nice side shot of the Oiz. It was supposed to be a zoom in shot going thru the frame looking down at the Trace...you can sorta see it...this is a great section of trail that runs parallel to the Rails to Trails...good for folks to see us riding and get exposure to the trials themselves.
Once again...i'm not sure shot when I'm sitting still much less on the move. This is a new section of trail that has made a nice figure 8 loop...
We had some nasty areas in the lower part of the trails so the boys built a fabulous bridge to help out. Nice job! How you like that BOR sticker on that bike?
In this same area of trails, it seems like there is a abundance of skulls...no humans yet...but give us time to build more trials and you never know what'll turn up. I think we're calling this area of the trails...Death Vally. I guess if i were an injured animal, this would be a nice place to cal it quits...nice rolling terrain, plenty of undergrowth to hide under, plenty of water to sip till you pass...i think it would be down right pleasant to die here...
Ah, the quite stroll on the Trace before i head back out on to the open road. it's always such a great place to ride...
