Great pics Josh.  Keep 'em coming.  Looks like a mountain biking paradise there. 

I especially like that you posted pictures of, and talked about, the natural beauty of the area.  It wasn't just all tech talk, or how hard/fast/far/high you rode.  A nice balance of trail description, your ride experience, and what you actually saw in the forest (pic of fungi) or from the tops of the hills (landscape pics).  Well done!

Seems to me that many people in this sport, as in skiing, are out there with blinders on, and never actually SEE anything except their front tire and the trail ahead of it.  Too bad for them, as they miss the point, and miss much of what should be a bigger experience.

Oh, and BTW, I also liked your response to the guys dissing the spandex.  Too funny.  They obviously have never done a three hour trail ride wearing baggies.  Fashion be darned, those things are killers.
