MIA

I just spent the last week in N. Conway, NH with the whole family, immediate that is.. mom, dad, the brother and sis, their respective counterparts and kids. A fantastic time was had by all, at least I had a fun.!! I brought my mountain bikes, which was a good idea. I did find some OK trails. I wish I could have had more time, met with some locals.. found out where they ride. Off the Kancamagus, was the first place I hit up. Very wet. Seemed more like hiking trails, even though the map I had insisted they were mountain biking trails. :-P The next day I headed up to BlackCat mountain, which was behind the condo we were staying in. Sweeeeeeetttt.. trails.. I found this sick free ride, downhill trail, hooked up with some other people. I wish I had a free ride bike..... Probably went downhill for like 20 min..... at least. Then they even gave me a ride back to the top.. HOw nice.. THere is some fantastic food in that town. The highlights for me were the Flatbread Pizza Co, and Tuckerman's Tavern. Zeb's is also an interesting general store, that has everything from candy to sauces to candles to toys ( I know if Nicole is reading this, she probably wants to give me a lesson in run-ons.. sorry, it's my blog. :-)
Of course I also enjoyed hiking, I wanted to hike up Mt. Washington.. but well, lets not go there. I did go horseback riding though. I don't really like horses,But I figured, you only live once. It was worth it. and the girl giving the tour was cute too, so I can't complain. Guess my horses name? SIlver. HI Ho..
TO sum things up, the vacation was needed, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish it lasted a few more weeks.

Brrrrrrrrrappppppp

So this weekend, I worked all day saturday. Fun fun..... THen sunday, I dusted off the dirtbike.... and started it up. I met Corey and some of his friends out in Millbury. Corey was on call, and guess what?? He got called. SHit, he was the tour guide. That left me and his friends to go exploring. WE rode for about an hour and half or so...... SOme pretty decent trails, open.. on the power lines... nothing extreme.. When I got back I called up the Corey. He was just about done... THe other people I went riding with were pretty laid back, and friendly and all... but they had been riding since ten and headed out. SO I grabbed a sandwich, and hung out.. Corey showed up.. Then we did some serious riding.... He took me down these train tracks... it was kinda sketchy. in between roads.... houses...... to this gnarly sandpit.... OH.... I forgot how much fun it is to ride in a pit... 3 rd.. pinned.... and just rippin' around.... go straight up then blow it around.... god... I love that shit!! Some serious drops off the top trail into the pit.... I wanted to hit one up. but it was gettting' crowded..and I didn't want to land on top of someone . SO We ended up riding for like 2 1/2 hours.... I was beat.... ANd we outwitted the po po too!! haha..
