    MOUNTAIN BIKING  - Once in a while I go Mountain biking with friends. I would like to go biking every weekend but I just can't find the time to do it.  I always like the ride up the trail on the Claremont Wilderness Park.  It is not an easy ride but it does give you a  good exercise and it  feels great to finish the trail.  All of the time I rode in the trail, I never manage to finish it without stopping to get a rest. Plus I always have a  time on the trail that I just have to get off my bike and just walk.  Just too tired to pedal. I guess I need a lighter bike. Not the one I have now which weighs about 30 lbs. Maybe the wife will buy me one for Christmas. I hope my wish come true  : ) ha ha.        

    Here are some pictures we took from some of our mountain bike rides.                       

 

 

This Claremont Wilderness park trail is about 2000 feet up hill.  

 

Here I am on my 30 lb Bike.  I already went off the bike and walk up the trail with the bike in tow. . This photo was just for show. ha ha.   : )                

 

         

Here I am again, tired and I was thinking of getting back to the car, drive home and just watch TV. This is my first  mountain biking up a hill. This trail is definitely not for first timers. The agony of defeat !

Erwin/ KF6EZK seems to enjoy the ride down the trail. Actually we are still going uphill and we just stop to take some photo ops.  We have not even reach the half of the trail and we are already walking.

       

Another picture of Erwin/KF6EZK.  Asking a higher being to give him more power to continue the uphill trail. Ha Ha.  

 

 

HIKING  - is another one of our interest.  Just like biking the problem again is not much time to spare. I just wish we can find some time this Fall/Winter to get on our hiking shoes and get to some exciting trails.  

 Here are some pics of the trails we have been to.
