So I have a few options for a MTB ride from my house.\u00a0 \u00a0Two of them require riding on a section of road I am just not fond of as it twisty and narrow and idiots driving too fast while being distracted are way too common on this road\u00a0 \u00a0There are a number of trees that bear the marks of dumb asses playing chicken with trees and losing.\u00a0 \u00a0I am not too interested in playing that game with a car.<\/p>\n

So my preferred trail system actually requires\u00a0 quite a bit more street riding to get to than the other two but they are much less dangerous streets and roads.\u00a0 \u00a0Getting to the trail system also requires a bit of climbing which is good for the whole exercise thing.<\/p>\n

There are has been sometime where I felt kinda meh about the local.\u00a0 \u00a0 Since I was off the bike for quite sometime earlier this year with a knee injury, I have rediscovered some of the joy of the local loop when I was actually able to get back on it again.\u00a0 \u00a0Earlier on in the recover just getting to the trail from my house was all my knee could handle.<\/p>\n

The Perch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now that my knee is on the mend enough that I can put some work on the climbs it is really nice to get back and enjoy this place.\u00a0 \u00a0Even if all I do is make it up to the first climb and chill out on what I call “The Perch”.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I am thankful for a knee that works again and my local loop.<\/p>\n
