Trial – A funny looking dirt bike that goes over big rocks. Tribulation – An experience that tests one’s endurance and patience. Yup, that about describes this weekend!
I want to give a HUGE THANKS to Nicole for having the patience to struggle through a weekend trials bike lesson for me. I had such a great time, learned a lot about what skills I need to practice, almost ran into more than one tree, and best of all I met a very sweet and talented couple!
Those trials bikes are a KICK. All that suspension, power, and low-end crawl with such little weight makes your mind think you might actually be able to go over that log... with a little practice of the proper technique, of course. ‘Learned something about the proper corner technique that will come in handy on any dirt bike, I think. ‘Gotta practice that one. And who knew you’re supposed to cover yer clutch and brakes levers all the time so you don’t run into trees after going over logs? Not me, but now I know!
I most of all enjoyed trying to put it all together by following Nicole and her hub’s lead on a beautiful trail ride through (and sometimes over) the golden Aspens. Ya'll are awesome folks!
:) Thanks :)
