Dog Days: What f***ing creek are we at?

Another day another killer ride....

This morning was spent in Hyalite Canyon learning some new routes. The mountain biking just keeps getting better. Today was all about killer fast descents and some pretty good views too. Hyalite Canyon and the associated drainages are criss crossed with miles of logging roads which make for great climbing and of course no one wants to ride back down the road so you have an equal amount of downhill single track. I didn't even try to remember which creeks and drainages we were riding but I know how to get to them and that's what counts.

The two hour ride totals 3000feet of climbing but the elevation is made in two climbs. The two descents are totally different from each other. One is smooth twisting single track through old forest and the other is wide open logging road. Both are fast and test your handling at high speeds.

The views of Hyalite resevoir and the valley were to die for and the weather cooperated with sun and high clouds. Being on the trail at 7:30am also helps as we didn't see anyone else on the ride. Unfortunately a small log attacked Ryans bike while he was putting out 5oo watts so his rear derailleaur was sacrificed on the last climb and had to miss the last 30 mins of the ride. The ride was perfect and Ryan provided the gas needed to motivate while Rusty kept track of the mileage with Swiss precision. Great ride with great friends.
