It's that time of year when I start to really get fired up to get back on the bike - this doesn't help much when I see this fantastic single track like the shot on the right that is in the Wisconsin State forest called the South Kettle Moraine, near Granger, WI. This shot was taken in the early fall -I have posted on this area in the past as being one of finest mountain bike rides in the country. It's a little rocky, but for the most part, even for the modest rider, it's doable. There are several trails available to suit every skill level. This particular trail is 10 miles long and requires some good skills to ride it well.
As with any trail, if you get yourself into a jam, get off the bike and walk. We all do it at some point in time, even now - heh.
Beautiful and challenging, but you don't take your life in your hands to ride it. One thing here though, you must have a suspension bike, at least in the front. With the rocks in some places it would really hard on your arms and rear, maybe your back as well.I ride on the road as well and love that too. So now I have to start thinking about getting into a spin class and doing some work outs on my weight machine, mostly leg curls and presses. Keep the weight down and the reps up -
