First Ride of The Year!
I've been running all winnter trying to keep my arobics up. It paid off!
Trail: Right side of City Creek
Dist: 7.5miles
Today I went up the right side of City Creek. It was an awesome ride!
I didn't stop for any breaks and rode up to the free style area.
I rode around the free style area for a bit, it looked has though people where making new jumps and more wooden platforms and what not. Pretty dope.
The down hill was great, the dirt was hard packed no lose stuff, and because it was so early in the year I don't think any even rode the trail today. I hauled ass down hill. flat out wreckless! it was great.
On my way back through downtown on south temple, I drop these stairs I always do, then keep riding. Well about 2 buildings down pass the stairs I pass the heavy set guy. He makes eye contact with me, he looks upset. He says "You need to be riding in the streets not on the side walk" I slam on my breaks, rip off my head phones, baring my teeth at him the whole time. I raise my voice double what his was and say rudely "Do you have any idea how dangerous riding in the streets downtown with out a bike lane is?" He responds, "It’s illegal, and a cop would tell you the same, plus your going way to fast." I respond "I'll wait for a cop to tell me the same" And I rode off.
Anyway the guy was right, I should be in the road. I was riding too fast. Why do I get so mad? That guy could have fallen on me and killed me instantly if he wanted. Maybe he saw me drop the stairs and was jealous
