MBM: JJ’s Goldmine

MBM got out to a bit of a slow start this year.  Both Ryan and J had their bikes at the shop for a few weeks, plus the daily rain/hail storms have made riding difficult.

Although not as much mountain biking has occurred until this point, we have gotten together for 4 or 5 Music-Band-Monday’s instead, and a trail jogging session that crippled us all for about a week – that one was J’s idea.

But here we are, first big MBM excursion was to start exploring this super secret private singletrack nestled in the foothills by J’s new house.  All I can say is that J signed up for some trail work and got us a pass into this place…. and its fuggin’ awesome, hence “JJ’s Goldmine.”

Here are a couple highlights:

We rode through dusk and broke out the lights for the last leg of the downhill back to the car whooping and hollering the whole way.

Ryan had a dramatic flat finish rolling up to the car, pretty funny:
