Fogelsode Season 2, #3: Zip Lines and Dry Trails

I got the chance to go on a local zip line track through the redwoods a few weeks ago, and it ended up being crazy! It was a really neat experience traveling through the forest with an entirely different aspect. Iggy, Clay, Bryce, and I rode the local trails quite a bit that week, enjoying the dry conditions. It’s been dry for so long that there’s a nice thin layer of silt over the hard-pack so you can get nasty with the drifts. It can definitely get squirrely though, as we all had our close-calls. We got to bust out the hardtails later for a fun little evening sesh at Mike’s house, which was a good time mixing it up. Overall it was just another good week riding bikes with the crew!
