For the regular readers of this little blog of mine, you may have noticed that the
last several posts have been a departure from my usual banter of rides and other awesome outdoor activities. Instead, I have been talking about boring domestic type stuff. I changed all of that this past weekend with many hours of mountain bike riding. It was nice to be back in the woods on the trails enjoying some ride-time with friends.
On Sunday, Jeremy, Nikki, Josh (Jeremy’s brother), and I made the ridiculously
long drive to ride the Allegrippis Trails at Raystown Lake. I didn’t realize however, that Nikki was going to sit out our ride and hand her bike over to someone else. That person was none other than our new friend Nixtreeme.
In a dizzying display of awesomeness, Nixtreeme raged
onto the scene and put on a clinic of trail-crushing abilities. It was all we could do to keep up as she doubled the whoops and carved out the singletrack like a Thanksgiving turkey. In fact, Nixtreeme’s abilities were so mind-blowing we had to let extra air out of her front shock to make sure she got maximum travel in order to limit the impact on the trails.
While it might seem like I’m making this up, you’d be wrong. The only reprieve we got from this expo of trail slaying and chest bumps was to pick some fresh raspberries along the way. I just hope for Jeremy’s sake that Nixtreeme limits her new found coolness to the forest.
