Mountain Biking & Tree House!

Or Not.

If you came here to read about the awesome tree house I found on my bike ride today, you will be as disapointed as I was when I realized the "tree house" was not in a tree at all, but rather a shack in the woods. You can't go in it, and it is not at all interesting or pretty to look at... such a disapointment. I don't think you should be able to label signs and maps "tree house" to mislead someone to the very end of a trail, up a very large hill, and deny them use of their bikes (Thanks "No Biking" sign!). False advertising is a cruel mistress.

What I did find was a great place to enjoy nature with Matt, enjoy my Clif Bar (adventureing must have for me) and some random string to climb around on. Matt called it a "cat's cradle" (which reminded me of that chilhood hand/string game) but I didn't care what it was called. I was gonna play with it. I climbed, hung, and tangled myself up in this thing for a few minutes, let my noms settle and then headed back.

It was a beautiful day for a bike. I had a fun time and got a nice burn out of my legs. The workout yesterday made my thighs sore and today sure didn't help, especially since my back tire was VERY low. (Bonus workout?)

Now that we have explored the "whole" of the main Forbidden Drive path, now we can maybe venture off to see some of the harder side trails and paths. Or maybe not. Some look very hard.

Happy Sunday, all!
