Monday Dmitri's VGI ride

Ride Report:

Full moon before sundown!

So I head out on my own yesterday at the Pavilion and ride the Coyle, and decide to go left and ride the Indian loop backward.

Before the Indian there's a rocky muddy section at the top of a hill, I ride that and as I start heading down the hill I'm greeted with a scare :o  There's some nasty chick squatting bare ass, right in the middle of the trail, having a pee, while, get this... talking on her cell phone!

I thought it was a dude at first but there was nothing dangling. She freaks out and is trying to pull up her pants, one-handed mind you, because she was still holding the phone to her ear.

I just was speechless but managed to tell her that I can safely say, "I've now seen everything!".

I'm in recovery at home today; I might have to see a therapist. :-X

so I ride on and come across a dude name Dan who has a flat front tire and needs a pump. I spot his shirt as one of the Fisher 29er crew and it turns out he's from Michigan visiting his friend Heidi (our Heidi) and doing a couple days of training in the Wiss. He'd never been here before and was totally digging the trails.

So we get him going and I decide to try and guide him a bit because it's getting late and he wants to loop on back toward East Falls. I start riding race pace to keep up and what do you know, I get a flat! But I don't have anything on me except the pump. Fortunately Dan has some patches, so we fix my flat and start to ride again, and guess what, he has a second flat in his back tire! He's tubeless and out of tubes. But we manage to somehow get air in it and we basically rode back the Forbidden Trail, while I educated him on how great each of the trail sections were above us and how much he'd enjoy riding them if it wasn't' dark and if he had a tire that could hold air...

Anyway, I hope he made it back and I hope he gets a chance to fully check out the Wiss today, though I hope not quite as fully as I saw it yesterday!
