Radical

Saturday, did a 4-5 mile Harbison ride with two boys Corbin(9) and Zane(6) and their Dad(38?). Before we rode I remembered I had a flask of Hammer Gel in my truck door so I told them all REAL mountain bikers take a squirt of Hammer Gel. At first they were scared of it but then they gave in after their dad tried it and liked it.

We set off down firebreak backwards to crooked pine to grassy fire road towards midlands mountain and back around fire break. Corbin bunny hopped every single root he came across on his full squish NEXT rig and and kept asking "where are the mountains". Zane left it all out there on his NEXT rigid single speed with 14"wheels. Never heard more "radical", "cool", "totally awesome", "sweet" on one ride before. Total ride time 1:20 plus/minus and 4-5 miles. Two thirsty boys and one Dad with a map in hand for next time.
