Things I learned today...

No this isn't a tricks/brag thread, it is just an observation I would
like to share.
Today I went out with the Uni I bought from Krashin Kenny (Thanks
again!) for the first time. I wanted to be able to do something besides
riding miles on the road. Well I went hereand rode on this kind of
stuff. I never upd'd so many times in one ride. The observation was
that I had to learn to start looking more at the ground in front of me
instead of ahead and down the road like when I am on the street. So
many roots came out of nowhere and grabbed my wheel! I did have a good
time on the boardwalk through the wetland. All in all it was a lot of
fun. So my tip to anyone leaving the road for the trail is DON'T LOOK
MORE THAN SIX FEET IN FRONT OF YOU!!!!! (at least until you are really
goood at speedy recoveries! Ha!
I am not good with the attachment thing but the pics I am referring to
are below.

Glad to see you've already decided to venture off-road with your new toy
(welcome to the darkside):D . Riding in the dirt takes a completely
different level of balance and concentration than just cruising down
the street. Watch out for those dips and roots, they'll get ya' if
you're not paying attention;)

A short ride of muni with just the right number of roots jumping out at
you is both physically and mentally challenging. I can ride a good
part of the day on pavement just casually taking it all in and come
home fairly tired. Physically tired. But only a few hours out on the
trails and my brain hurts. ;)

There is nothing like discovering that the wheel spins even without
pavement. Welcome to muni!
