Mud!

Once again, it has been a little while since my last post. I really hope this doesn't become a habit. Well as you all know, here in the northern hemisphere it is Autumn! What a wonderful time of year and personally, my favorite season. It's still warm outside, but there is sometimes a nice chill in the breeze, which means it's the perfect weather to be active in the great outdoors! Usually I spend my Autumn weekends camping and hiking around. This year has been a bit busier than previous years, so to get the most out of my time outside I have been spending a lot of time mountain biking! I am able to see more and cover more distance in shorter amounts of time on a bike.
On the way up the trails I go slow enough to enjoy the colors and wildlife around me. Ill even stop occasionally to snap a picture of the beautiful trees or the snow capped mountains.
The other day while I was out biking, I decided to go up a little further than usual so I could hit the snow! Word of advice: If you're ever looking for a great leg workout, try peddling a bike through snow. The ride up was good, it took about an hour. The ride down was GREAT, it took about 7 minutes!
 
You always know when you've had a good time, but sometimes others need a little bit of help knowing how fun the experience really was. Some people are great story tellers and you just need to listen to them and you know they've had a good time. Me.... It's a little easier to tell, just look to see how dirty I am afterwards, and you can tell if I had fun or not!
Get outside and have some fun! Until next time...
