Exploring new trails

One of the best parts about bike riding is exploring new trails. Andy, Mark, and I wanted to try a down hil adventure in Colorado Springs called "Captain Jacks". Sadly, we were a bit confused on where the trail started, so we ended up on another trail call "Jones". The map we had for "Jones" failed to mention where you park the shuttle car (you drive up to the top in one car and leave another car at the bottom). So when we got to the top of the trail our shuttle car was not in the right spot. It would have been a shame to not have SOMEONE ride the trail down, so the boys volunteered me. It was a really fun trail, but my map I had was NOT helpful. During the ride I was a bit nervous about getting lost in Pike National Forest. Andy and Mark recorded this video. When I was panicking about getting lost, I kept thinking at least they have this last footage of me. I am truly learning to respect the woods! In the end, the boys were jealous of my ride!
