3rd Ride.

Trail: Right side of City Creek
Dist: 9.5miles

I and Glen Finally rode together today. We went up the right side of City Creek, but first we went on a small detour. I wanted to mark out another mile in a different direction for running. After the detour we headed on up the trail.

Has always, Glen started off fast and strong up the trail. I had a hard time keeping up, but I managed to never let him leave my sight. I wonder why he always does that, seems to ware him self out. He slowed down up top and I was able to catch my breath a bit. I will say he did better then me on the up-hill. I need to get in a few more rides.

We made it up to the jumps, there where some guys up there in all downhill gear jumping and doing some drops. One of them was egging me on to drop down this 2 foot drop into a steep hill, then up another steep hill, and then jump up a step up. I thought about doing it, but chickened out.

On the way down I almost lost it around a corner that would have meant death or hospitalization. I would have ridden off an edge that is so steep that I wouldn't have stopped until the bottom. Good thing I managed to gain control again. I'll remember to take it easy right there next time.
