After spending 35 miles with Erick Mile the day before, my legs were spent, but I still decided to meet fellow CRAMBA kidz Jeremy and Sol for a bike ride at Pontiac Lake on April 6. That’s a hard trail to pass up, and I’m glad I didn’t. Sure, I had to damn near granny up the hills, but I cleared “Triple Puke” for the first time since moving back downstate from the Keweenaw, and the trail was in such great shape the the downhills were…yeah, I’ve said it many times and I’m going to say it again…wicked fast.

We decided to get some pictures of us riding down “the chute.” We even climbed back up to experience the “whee factor” of this nifty spot for a second time.

Doggies playing. The Jack Russell is Kristi’s new pup, Andy. The Labradoodle is Steve and Danielle’s beautiful pup.

CAKE! The funfetti is a masterful creation of Danielle. The rich, chocolatey goodness was delivered by Marty. The beer is Dragonmead’s Juggernaut.
