rode elrpieto today, first time eating it well. went over the handle bars and all. i think i almost fell maybe 10 times, i suck but crap was that fun \/
yea i sitll dont know what poison oak looks like in person, i jsut dodged every plant i could. so far looks like im okay . yea ive never ridden a tech trail before so some parts had me put my foot down to not land on my face in rocks. it was fun though, need to practice more, my balance sucks
at the speed i was going i couldnt tell if there were 3 leaves or 10.. just tried to avoid them all, especially the overhanging cactus.. being 6'4 i didnt want to smash my face into it. [-X
Here's a picture of Poison oak for those that aren't sure. The leaves do turn red in fall, though. I took this near Mt Wilson, but El Prieto was really bad this year.
damn, i dunno everything looks the same to me when im riding. :?: i rode el prieto again today, BUT i didnt eat it this time.. HA! take that mother nature. fun times. even thuogh my gf didnt want to go up the trail .. she got tired on the entrance to the trail :-({|=
