Blue Mountain Steel

Today's Adventure ...taking a photo of four guys throwing out the blue steel look on top of a mountain, only to be humbled on the way down by wipeouts and flat tires...

Colter, Will, Ben and I took a ride up Blue Mountain. The ride up was great and we had good views of the forest fire that I blipped about yesterday. The downhill was a thrill for a number of reasons. Dusty, rocky, and steep. True to my mountain biking nature took 2 big falls (I always get at least one on a ride). Ben took a decent slide too that almost took me out for a third time.

We did not emerge from the trail till 930 in the dark. Why? Because between the 4 of us there were 4 flat tires. Colter got a flat tire hat trick and had to run the last 2 miles out on foot. Would have taken more photos of this but it was night - and I didn't think to bring a headlamp for a 9 mile ride starting at 6 with a sunset at 9...
