Bike Ride
While up north we wanted to hit some biking trails up north. Unfortunately, the morning that we planned to ride it started to rain. To kill time we went out to breakfast at Mimi's, and browsed through the selection of hats at Burlington coat factory. The rain finally cleared and we decided to try the paths just above Cally and Josh's house. We started out pretty well flying down a slightly muddy hill. It looked like the trail was going to be a good one. But we soon found out that the rest of the trail was straight up hill on slippery muddy slope.
It was a long battle to get up the hill but we finally made it. Our tires were caked with mud to the point that we would lose traction up the hill. Once to the top the trail crossed a paved road and then continued off down another large hill. We chose not to go down another muddy hill to just go up another one. We decided to take the paved road back to the car. On the way back to the car mud was flying off our tires that we were covered in mud from head to toes. Lesson learned don't go on a mountain bike ride after it has rained.
