Foothills Riding; Skills Park(er)

Went out with CBro's Barney Squad last night, started at Fort Boise and rode around the Military Reserve area. Up to Central Ridge, up Bucktail to Shanes then 3 Bears via Curlew. Curlew is like a mini-Por Rim section. Rocky, fast, etc. Daryl was climbing like a madman on his 5-Spot. We turned around and I led the bomber session. My phone flew out coming down and had to have Curt (new guy from MASS) call it so I could GPS in on it. It's not a cheap phone - I need to be more careful. We then continued down Shanes to the bottom of MR, the Coiler was rocking it. I forgot my bike computer so I have no idea what kinds of speed I hit but it felt like mach 10. Got back to the park and CBro, Ultra Barney BBQ host, had dogs and a few cold ones for us. What a stud. No pics sorry. About 3pm or so this afternoon a pretty wil storm rolled in, high winds, thunder, lightning, rain. It went from 93 degrees to 69 degrees in about 30 minutes. Wild weather. Here's a little peek right before it got nuts:


I do have few pics of the work done on the skills park(er) today. Looking forward to being able to ride this. Out of deck screws, but getting some more tomorrow. yay!
