Let's see... the root drop, the hill on Tangle of Trails, the logs on Marks Art, the Wall on BMX, the Windy hill, the SC decent.... the list of challenges goes on and on. However, there are so many things that I used to walk that still make me whoop when I ride now. I keep telling myself that it is a journey!!
I did the downhill on the Tangle of Trails for the first time yesterday. Goodnight nurse that was scary. I think I sustained a curse word the entire time. It took me four times of rolling up to it yesterday to even go down! Root drop I walk, not ready for that although I will go down the Main Creek coming back.
Hill on Severe Consequences I absolutely love but I tricked myself into it last time for my first downhill.
Oh and the Hill on Windy to the creek, that scares the bejeezus out of me but DH bombs down it. We usually do it coming from closer to the entrance to the park, not the Windy entrance by the service road.
I have only tried the BMX trail one time, tight and fast is still something I am working through and that wall will be a long time coming. You know for a mostly begginer trail it sure has some technical stuff to scare me as a newbie.
This morning I cannot believe some of the spots I have bruises in and the bruise on my butt is pretty funny looking, the ones on my hip hurt.
