It was a beautiful day for a ride in The Don Trails yesterday. The trails were bone dry and it felt like the middle of summer. Not a drop of rain in sight and tons of sun.
There was some serious air going on in the jumps section of the trails between the train tracks and the river. There has been alot of work done here over the last year or so.
Overall it was a great ride. There was quite a crowd at the jumps. Finally nice to just kick back, relax and partake in some good conversation, but most of all to witness the range of talent that was present.
I wish I had taken a picture. There was a younger kid named Elliot that was just starting out on the jumps. He could not have been more than 10 or 11 years old. When I first arrived, he was only doing the first two. By the time I left, about 2 hours later, he was doing the entire run including the banked turn at the end. It was inspiring, to say the least. This kid just kept riding them, over and over and over again.
The day was not without its mishaps. There were a few crashes. Nothing serious, perhaps a slightly bruised ego. The great thing was the riders just picked themselves back up and kept riding. No harm done.
Definitely looking forward to the next one. This time I will show up prepared with more Flash Memory for the camera!
