Cherry and I got Grandma and Great-Grandma to babysit and we headed off to Boyette Scrub Preserve (Trail Map PDF) for some mountain biking. The place was PACKED on a beautiful Saturday.
We started off on some easy green trails. While not very hilly they had lots of switchbacks and the challenge became not catching your pedals on palmetto knobs as you rounded corner after corner. Cherry ROCKED at this. I think we found her new calling.
We then made our way back to some blue trails. One, named Gator Pit has a steep 35deg drop in, a short flat and then a 35deg 30-foot incline. Cherry made it most the way up. I dug in and made it to the top, only to not be able to get my shoe unclipped where I fell right over.
To add insult to injury (Chery had bet I'd bleed before the end of the day) we hear another rider coming up the trail. It was a guy on a off-road unicycle. UN-BE-LEIV-ABLE. He put as all to shame.
We have to head back and test out the black trails next. Maybe we can escape without any broken bones.

Let me know when you're going, I would love to break some bones. I haven't mountain biked since I moved here!
Love the video!!! And the song!!! Great shot of the two of you at the end. You guys are awesome! What a great way to spend quality time together... alone!... Well, let me rephrase that - without children!
