Indian Camp Creek

The heat wave set in today so a I met a few friends out at the Creek to break in some trail.  The group consisted of Brian Busken, Chris Dial, Matt Keeven, Christian Stitz, Keith Weinkein, and your truly.  Stitz broke trail on the new section as we all followed and made our way to the first fork in the road.  We chose left, or I should say, Stitz chose left with Keeven and Busken following.  I thought, ouch.  The snow was flying and as we rounded one corner Busken's rear end washed out and down he went.  As he lied there laughing in the snow I zipped to the left and snapped off a limb of a tree, almost whacking the trunk with my shoulder.  We regrouped at the top of the hill I noticed that the trail was rerouted.   Into the woods and down to the street.  This next section had already had some wheels on it so it made for a more flowy, fast ride.  Busting out onto the field I was feeling it a bit, but remembering the cedars up ahead pumped my blood up.  Weinkein turned on the camera and shot some footage.   I hope it turns out so we can put it up on here.  After the last downhill and through some flats we pop out on the park road.  Feeling cooked but not overdone, we turned around and did it all in reverse. Snow and a receding sun made for ten miles in some great conditions with some great guys.  A cold sunday riding in January could not have turned out any better.  Happy New Year and the best wishes to all in 2010.
