To celebrate the 4th, Dan B and I met up to ride Whiting and The Luge. We hit the trail at 7am to beat the heat. Whiting, with the tree cover was nice and cool. Once we hit mustard, we knew it was going to be a hot one! When we got to the Truck…

June 23rd was round two of The Knobby Time Series. I had heard from some friends that the course changed a bit from the previous week. They took out the rocky decent. This also removed a short steep climb. By doing this the course was shorted, and had a little less climbing. A riding bubby…
