Saratoga Springs, baby!

Yesterday we went to Saratoga Springs, NY to ride with John. It was such an awesome trail system!!! Really technical but almost everything was rideable if you put your mind to it. There were non-stop roots on every inch of trail but it was dry and in good condition. There were even little wooden bridges like you see in pictures of north-east riding. And there were lots of little logs lying across the trails to ride over. That's the first time I've tried riding those. We don't have that in CA. It was fun! If you want to try out some awesome, epic riding, go to Saratoga Springs. After the ride Lyle and John were even talking about buying a "summer house" there.

Anyways, I know I'm behind on posting. I'll put a post up about the race soon.

    Glad you enjoyed riding at the Stables, wish I could of joined you. Its a great place to ride but doesn't come close to our little gem less than ten miles away, Spier Falls. I think its one of the best ride spots anywhere. Check out our club website Saratogamtb.org.

  2. Too bad the bugs were trying to eat us alive! ;)

    The ride was nothing short of sweet. Sorry Mary and I had to blow out of the coffee shop so early. We finally rolled back into Cleveland around midnight or so. Ugh!

    Give me a call when you get a chance - we need to talk about NC plans!

  3. Spier Falls, eh? Why'd you let us miss it this time? It's hard to believe it's that much better than the Stables since that was so awesome! We'll have to make a trip out there again just to ride it!
