I just felt like throwing something out into  the abyss that is know as the rinkworks forum.   Does any of you like to bike?  Regularly?  Share a  tale, would ya?
  I'll go first...I took a school trip with my high  school freshman year, and we took five days to go  to Death Valley.  We rode every day from a nice  little base camp.  It was in early March, so we  had great weather, and it ruled.  We went about  20-30 miles a day, and on the last day they vanned  us into Nevada and we rode back to a parking lot.   It was a dirt road that started as a ten mile  uphill, an pain, if you will, but I was the  fastest of the group, never switched out of 2-4,  and finished five minutes ahead of everyone.  Then  we had lunch at the top, and continued down to  another uphill, this one about a mile, then we  went down through to the parking lot, through  Titus Canyon, about 15-20 miles.  It was  beautiful, and the most fun thing I have ever  done.  I remember that there was not one ride that  I didn't finish before the rest.  Well, those were  fun times.
