Bend's Dirty little Secret

So the trails here in Bend could not have been any better yesterday.We started our ride at 10:45 and finished three and a half hours later.WOW it was just what we all needed.I leave for my Birthday trip to the 4 corners plus some on Thursday and really needed a good ride to kick it off before I box up the Engin.It was a little chilly start but warmed up nicely.Big J was ridin' awesome as usual.Brett my bro went out hard and faded fast,but it didn't matter.He finished the 29 mile loop.Just a year ago he could not do 10.Way to rock the shite outa that ole Trek 8500LT.So if y'all want to ride in Bend come in the Fall October or early November.Trails are rocking right now.Cold at night so the moisture leaks out as it warms up.Lighting through the trees is almost as good as it gets.Go early to beat the Shoe-Bees on there brand new R.E.I. bikes with toe clips and strap's 3 miles from the car ,in their winter parka's,over heating on the side of the Phil's trail pondering "Why the hell did I marry you.You trying to kill me?".Good to see them out there exercising though.Pics from Big J are coming as soon as he gets the interwebs back up at his "Big J's Compound".
