I am having so much fun! I rode over some gnarly downhill today, that I swear the bike was floating over. I wish I didn't have to work so I could ride more.

So sorry about the fall, V, but it sounds like you had a great time regardless!

I've ridden China Camp (eons ago). If I remember, there is some good exposure/drop off there. Good for you for mastering that
. Glad to see that you are enjoying the new bike so much!

There is actual quite a bit of exposure on the ridge line and it's pretty rocky. I often didn't take the slightly smoother line that most riders had because it was too close to the edge. That's one thing I really like about the new bike - how well I can power it over rocks! Thom asked me at one point if I was freaking and I was just a little, but Crested Butte was really good for my confidence with that stuff. Plus when you've got two professionals critiquing you and they believe you can ride stuff like that... That trip was SO worth every dime!
I'm definitely stiff today. I think my left forearm took the brunt of the fall. It's pretty bruised.

Glad to see you are feeling the love for the new bike - and that looks like a fun trail to ride. Glad you didn't injure yourself worse. Is the trail close enough that you can ride it again soon?
