Mountain Biking Hurkey Creek June 07

Funny how we start Mountainbiking a lot when the weather becomes worse. By that I mean unbearably hot.

To try and escape the over 100F temperatures here in Palm Springs, we drive to Hurkey Creek in Idylwilld.

There's Clark who came out with us for a ride.






Clark attacking the torterous uphill.



That would be me - pretty out of breath.





This is one heck of a hill, though it doesn't look it from here.





Still going up.
Obviously Jacques always finished the hills first, since he's the one taking the photos. He's just like a little energizer bunny on the uphills.













Jacques in action.








































Clark preparing for a pretty technical downhill....























Oops - like that didn't happen to any of us!
At least he didn't get any bruises unlike me!
(However - I did manage to escape Jacques taking a photo (evidence) of my glitches...)












This is a really cool piece down this rock. Looks a bit steeper in real life.




























Whoopla - here we go...





















Hmmmm - so whose going down first?


























Me and my beloved Stumpjumper - love that bike.














Taking a breather...





































































Victory - Finally ontop!
