Mountain Biking and Sprinter Vans
I tried mountain biking twice before this trip. Except that wasn’t mountain biking.
The ride we did on Sunday in Chico was mountain biking.
If someone asked to recommend a good trail for someone just recovering from an accient involving a broken collarbone or rib, B Trail at Bidwell Park is not the trail anyone would recommend.
If someone asked for a trail that made you swear on the climb, concentrate over rocks, give a yippy skippy yeehaw on the descent and genuinely fall in love with mountain biking again, then B Trail at Bidwell Park was just the ticket.
I was dying on the climb. Frightened that I could no longer continue and maybe real mountain biking was too much for me right now. I was ready to turn around and give up….Luckily my ride buddies are patient and the descent was just around the corner.

We made it safely to Idaho. The Sprinter van is mostly still in one piece.
The scenery here is stunning. We did a little ride by the house yesterday that was so scrumptious, I would be happy doing loops of that all week. But we have new territory to explore and new trails to conquer

So jealous am I. From the looks of you running around last Friday night one would not know you had the crashy bit some weeks back. Good that you are getting past it and having some fun.
Now get out and do some more yeehaws and yippee skippee’s.
