D.i. double rr. T..........

If for no other reason you don't know if you should start mountain biking...... do it for the mud, the dirt, you know.... do it for your complexion!!  Okay maybe I'm kidding.... do it because you will have alot of fun!  That's what Erin and I were up to on Sunday.  Once the rain moved through in the morning, we were able to enjoy the warm temps and a clear sky in the afternoon.  Our travels took us from road, gravel, Kensington Park,  Island Lake Rec., and surrounding areas.  With Island Lake being rather sandy we assumed the mud would be minimal.  Turns out the trails were a bit slick, and there were many puddles but the overall trail condition was rideable and so much fun.   

I know it's been a few weeks since I updated my blog and I tried to remember what I have been up to.  It really all seems like a blur...... I have been a tad busy I guess!
