I just felt like throwing something out into
the abyss that is know as the rinkworks forum.
Does any of you like to bike? Regularly? Share a
tale, would ya?

I'll go first...I took a school trip with my high
school freshman year, and we took five days to go
to Death Valley. We rode every day from a nice
little base camp. It was in early March, so we
had great weather, and it ruled. We went about
20-30 miles a day, and on the last day they vanned
us into Nevada and we rode back to a parking lot.
It was a dirt road that started as a ten mile
uphill, an pain, if you will, but I was the
fastest of the group, never switched out of 2-4,
and finished five minutes ahead of everyone. Then
we had lunch at the top, and continued down to
another uphill, this one about a mile, then we
went down through to the parking lot, through
Titus Canyon, about 15-20 miles. It was
beautiful, and the most fun thing I have ever
done. I remember that there was not one ride that
I didn't finish before the rest. Well, those were
fun times.
