My friend Bryce has a spare dirt bike and he took me trail riding on Sunday. The bike and the trail really kicked my ass. I am very sore everywhere today but it was lots of fun! Not many trails are open before May1 so this was nice discovery for us. This trail is across I-25 from the old PPIR oval track. Here is the GPS track and the elevation graph. It really is that bumpy. It is 4.5 miles of turns and woops. There is no place to rest or regroup at all (at least for an out of shape newb like me).
