Another fantastic day of family riding at Luc's :!:
Thank you to the Hostess for the delicious chili w/ Fritos on top.
Those giant logs in the pasture were a good, fun challenge. I think my seat slapped me in the arse a few times while jumping over them because I feel it in my spine all the way up to my neck. I will be hanging on my inversion table here as soon as I get off the computer. :D

Thanks to all for a great Saturday!
Luc: Nice new trail additions.
Kira: Great to meet you and thanks for the prep effort. And letting us use your horse pasture.
Savage: Great photo. Hope you don't mind, but I downloaded it.

On the way home I asked Lars if he had a good day. He said the day was "ok".
"What was bad?" "The riding."
"What was good?" "The riding."
When I dropped him off at mom's house at 730pm, he was eager to tell her about his day riding. Hmm, I think that means more good than bad. Stubborn little cuss.

Until next time!

It was great to have you guys here!

I am glad to see how the little ones had fun! It is amazing to see how much 6 months did to their bike's skills. Gavin, Griffin and Léonce did the outside "hard" loop and we only had to help a few times!

As usual thanks for the video Quinton, this is awesome!!!

I attempted to record a lot of the day on my camera as well, but somehow it corrupted the files and I cannot retrieve them. Makes me mad!!! :evil:

Ya I didn't know he did the tougher section until later on. I wish I would have been along to see it. Did he navigate through the rocks? Did he crash much? Makes me nervous thinking about it. :)

She took quite a few pics and most of them were pretty good. Some of them I have edited to make them look better. I won't upload them all to PB though. You want me to email the ones of you?

Yes he did it like a champ, from memory he only crashed going through the creek (he went straight into the tree ahead of him) Robert, did a great job coachinng him through the rest of the difficulties that there was no picking up bikes involved if I remember right.

Now check underneath the frame ;-) because when he went up the rocks by the fence, there was no hesitation and the softer suspensions had him scrub a few rocks.

:shock: Ha! I am not quite that self-centered! I keep a 4G flash drive on my truck keychain so I can grab pictures in times like this...but I always seem to forget that I have it. :oops: No worries.
