Bike riding down pipeline trail




Garrett, Braiden, and I went mountain bike riding today down the pipeline trail in mill creek canyon. This was by far the most exciting trail I've ridden down. We parked one car at the top of the trail and one at the bottom so when we got done riding down, we could get in our cars and leave (something you learn from experience) last time we had to peddle clear uphill to our car and Garrett about threw up afterwards and yes my legs felt like rubber!

This trail was mostly downhill although there were some parts uphill. Nothing to rough. The scary thing though was we were on a ledge almost the whole trail and if you weren't watching where you went the entire time, you could fall off the side and not stop rolling for a hundred feet.
