Today, we ride! We’re going to re-ride the part of Little Rainbow that The Bear and I rode the other day, and then we’re going to ride the other side, which none of us have seen.

The ride goes well. Even The Bear and I ride better than we did the other day. We take about 8 minutes off our time out, and almost three minutes on the ride back, so we feel pretty good about that. Richard seems totally unaffected by the altitude. Bastard!

Now, we’re ready for the new section. Logic dictates that it’s all downhill,but this trail is not logical – at the start, we have to climb a bit,but it’s not too bad. A couple of miles out, we hit the Lost Trail, that goes South to the truck. It’s rated Most Difficult, but Richard decides to try it. The Bear and I are not going to do that, so we go on to Race Track, and that one lives up to its name – almost all downhill, and nothing but lefts and rights, and some straightaways, all the way down. A couple of dodgy spots, and the towards the end, one really badly washed out spot that made me come to a screaming stop, but overall, a great amount of fun! Gotta do that one again soon!

A good day!
