Squiggy

The squiggy went just how I had hoped and planned. My goal was 3 laps and I completed all 3. The first and second lap I averaged about 10 MPH. Not too bad, considering we had to stop a couple times because my Dad was having mechanical problems. However, on the third lap, I started feeling the pain. My back and shoulders were KILLING me because I have no suspension. I'm the type of racer/rider who doesn't pick a line, I just go barreling through the trails and whatever is in my way I ride over it. The roots caught up with me!! Time to retire the little white bike!!

It's Almost Done

I know what you are thinking!! Where's the Ellsworth frame??? Unfortunately, it's hanging up until I grow a little. I was pretty bummed when we started putting it together and found it to be too big. So, we decided to put together the KLEIN for now. Later, we will switch the parts over to the Ellsworth. I'm still waiting on my new fork to come, so I won't be using this bike for the Squiggy.

Spring Break Continued....

OK, now the real fun begins!! Don't get me wrong, I like the beach, but I would much rather be on my bike. We left for Fort Clinch (Fernandina Beach) Thursday evening. Got a good nights sleep and ready to ride Friday morning. We did the 6 mile loop, took a break, planned on doing another loop, but my sister was not feeling well. So, we went down to the beach to relax. My mom and I looked for shells while my Dad and sister built a sand castle.

After that, we took the ferry heading towards Hanna Park in Jacksonville.

We ordered a pizza, then decided to go for an evening ride at Guana River State Park. After about 40 minutes ,we finally arrived there. The trails were OK. Kind of Morris Bridgey on a river. I give it a 5 out of 10.

Saturday morning , We were ready to hit the trails at Hanna. We ended up riding all the trails 2 times with a beach break in between.

Last year, I could not make this climb. I made it this time!

Easier line up the hill.

Harder...almost made it! Maybe next time!

Relaxing after our second ride.

Spring Break

So far, it's been a fun Spring Break. Friday night we headed over to Cocoa Beach. We got there around midnight, wide awake and ready to do some shopping at Ron Jon's. The next day my sister and I had fun riding the waves on our new body boards, the water was FREEZING!!

Easter afternoon...my family and I went to the Seabird Sanctuary for an Easter egg hunt on the beach. It was a lot of fun, but man was that place STINKY!!!

After escaping the bird place without being pooped on, we decided to check out a new park in Largo. The paved trail was perfect for my long board.
