    ooo that was fun

    Put an old 5 inch travel triple crown fork that I had laying around onto my my Mt Bike and went out onto a fun rocky descent. I forgot how buttery smooth a Marzocchi Jr T is in the rough stuff. Seriously fun when you have precise steering in the rocks and rutts

    Wow that is something else. Looks like a lot of fun. Question I was asking myself if you were in a worst-case scenario to like fall and bust your ass and maybe get a compound fracture or something how long would it take to get Medics out to you

    It depends on where I'm riding. today 15-20 minutes. Up in the Sierras.. 2-4 hours unless they had a Helo with basket lift capability available. Probably the same for Bo. I always carry a mini trauma kit in my backpack just for that reason.

    Well didn't want to send you any bad karma for sure but you always seem to find yourself in some mighty fine-looking areas

    I started rock climbing in Colorado 45 years ago but moved back to the south and never got back into it. Another one of the regrets my errant youth forced upon me.
