Monadnock trails

Today, I ventured out on a little exploration around the region. Instead of taking the usual trails, my buddy and I decided to hit the powerlines and head out into the unknown.





Three hours later we were both pretty beat up and headed home.

I ended up having to pick the bike up twice: The first time, while climbing up a hill and getting stuck in a rut, the rear wheel decided to try get ahead on the front wheel. I ended up dumping the bike on that one, simply because there was no way to get my foot down on the steep slope. No damage to me, but the bike lost its only mirror.
The second time I put the bike on its sidestand on top of a giant boulder, only to see it tumbling down as soon as I got my foot on the ground. This time, the clutch lever became the victim. Well, no irreparable damage done to either bike or rider, and the little parts were well worth the enjoyment.
