Reporting from North Lake Tahoe! Most of our trails are still buried in many, many feet of snow, though the snow is melting quickly. I neglected to shoot anything on yesterday's ride... if I ride tomorrow, I shall try my best to bring back pictures.

Guess the trainer will have to do...Quote:

I felt so good, but have to be super careful riding downhill for the next couple weeks.

He did indeed, the exit on that berm is pretty tight, and we've all gone down on it once or twice. Still hasn't convinced us to rebuild itQuote:

Mid Mountain Trail, Park City
This is my fiance's first season. Before this year, the last bike she owned had training wheels and little mermaid stickers on it. She has come a long way in a very short amount of time.

This month we decided she enjoyed the sport enough to justify a legit FS bike. I bought her a brand new Specialized Safire. She named it "Ladybug" and is absolutely in love with it.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net..._5782642_n.jpg
She rode Coldwater Canyon Overlook like a champ, making every switchback on the way up and absolutely shredded on the way down. I was super proud. No pics from that ride.
We rode Dog Lake, but mistakenly took the Little Water trail up. It was steep and nasty, mostly hike a bike for a good mile or so.

We rode it again on this Wednesday and took the right trail this time. She absolutely killed it.

Ripzalot- Your photos make me really want to make a bike trip to Europe. I think competing in the Megavalanche may be on my bike-based bucket list.
Been riding more this year than any other time in my life.
50K race is next week, and training for it has been the best excuse to be on my bike pretty much all the time.
I don't like being in front of the camera and I really don't like being on video.
But, I've become very comfortable on my bike, that I don't really care anymore...
If you're too scared to ride the right side of the Spine, you might as well clean the left :)
