I see.
A worthy effort Greg, and you'll thank yourself for some time moving forward.

Ahhhhhh. Only for the skilled and accomplished rider. Those of you that have been there have all passed. Another point of interest for my bucket list when we go out to christen Greg's Fugly.

I required a push from Greg as I was exiting. I did not pass the test.

Evenin' Woodrows, rode the bicycle from HC to Crazy Horse and back this afternoon, The Mickelson Trail is pretty cool, from Crazy horse to HC was down hill, seldom requiring a turn of the pedals. A most enjoyable ride.
